Safety at a Credit Union

One of the biggest concerns about financial institutions has to do with safety. People are concerned about the safety of their money as well as the financial institution’s credit union’s ability to protect their identities, often throughout the process of applying for a loan. Belco Community Credit Union offers a range of features that help guarantee the financial security of their members.

In addition to educating members about online safety and ways to keep track of their expenses, credit reports, and any suspicious activity, Belco also offers a program called SHERPA. This program is designed to add an extra layer of security between your checking and savings accounts and identity thieves.

Using SHERPA

SHERPA is an add-on service offering quality identity theft protection at a lower cost than other solutions on the market today! SHERPA offers the following features in the fight against identity theft:

● 24/7 monitoring of credit for credit union members: This feature keeps a vigilant eye on your credit and alerts you to suspicious purchases. You can then authorize purchases on your account or freeze the account, if necessary, to prevent fraud.
● Identity theft protection: SHERPA also monitors thousands of websites for your personal information and will alert you to problems with your identity before it becomes a major financial and personal problem. This will then allow you to take the steps necessary to protect yourself.
● Credit repair: In the event your identity is stolen, SHERPA uses identity restoration to help catch the thief and get your life back on track.

With SHERPA and other in-house features, Belco can ensure that both the money members borrow through their credit union loans as well as their identities are protected. For this reason, if you ask them whether your money is safe at a credit union, their answer will always be a confident yes!
