Fraud Alert: Phone, Text & Email Scams

Be on high alert for any fraudulent activity and report it to us immediately.

We have had reports of fraudulent notifications being sent to members through phone calls, text messages, and emails, posing as account transaction alerts.

USSFCU will never send unsolicited emails, calls, or text you to ask for your:

  • One-time verification code
  • PIN number
  • Username or password
  • Personally identifiable information (account number, social security number, birth date, etc.)

Or any other identification details.

If you receive a message you feel might be fraudulent, do not provide any information, hang up, and independently call 800.374.2758 to speak to a team member at our Member Services Contact Center or log in to your account at my.ussfcu.org to verify transactions.

Please report any fraudulent activity immediately through email, secured messaging in online banking or by phone.

Visa® Account Updater (VAU)

VAU enables the secure exchange of card numbers and expiration date updates between USSFCU and participating card-on-file merchants. The VAU service takes the most recent Visa® card number and expiration date in our system and updates this information with merchants that have those specific cards on file.** Visa® automatically enrolls USSFCU members in this service. However, you can opt out at any time by contacting Card Services at  or by calling 800.374.2758.

*Usually a purchase fee of up to $6.95 may be charged by the credit union. Monthly inactivity fee of $2.95 after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. Lost/stolen replacement card fee of $5.00. United States Senate Federal Credit Union Visa® Gift Cards are issued by MetaBank® pursuant to a license from Visa® U.S.A. Inc, Member FDIC. Membership required. Valid Only in U.S. No Cash Access.

**Contact merchant(s) directly to find out if they participate in Visa® Account Updater. Visa® Account Updater is a Visa® service; not a USSFCU service.
