Security:
Monitor your credit card and
account statements online on a
weekly basis. Reconcile your accounts for accuracy.
Report lost or stolen cards immediately and cancel all inactive accounts.
When using your card at checkout, do not volunteer any personal information. Do not offer any personal information to people you do not know.
If you’ve applied for a new card and don’t receive it in a timely manner, or if a
replacement card is not received prior to your card’s expiration date, contact
your financial institution immediately. Make sure you activate your card according to instructions received with your replacement card.
Shred sensitive documents before disposing of them, install anti-virus and
anti-spyware software on all computers, and change your passwords regularly.

of their own. FedStar Credit Union can help
you find the best car to fit your needs.

discounted rate that will help you determine the best options. When in doubt, use
your commonsense! Sniff out mildew and
use of excessive deodorizers; see if there is
condensation in

there are water
stains. For more
