You need to complete the VISA card holder form. You can do this by clicking the link below: <website address referencing link inserted here> VISA Cards Support THIS IS NOT A LEGITMATE EMAIL.IT IS AN ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION. Please do not open or respond to emails such as this. Visa does not send email notifications to verify suspicious information.
Text Phishing Scams There have been reports of text messages being sent to members’ claiming to be from various financial institutions (banks and credit unions) for the purpose of obtaining personal information. Members are told that their bank account has been closed due to suspicious activity, or they are asked to call an 800-number to “verify information on file”. Unsuspecting callers who dial the number provided in the text message, is taken to an automated voice mail that prompts them to enter personal information. The following tips will help members to avoid becoming a “smishing” or identity theft victim:
Further, Department of Corrections Credit Union will never contact members via text messaging therefore any messages received through such are most certainly fraudulent. To report fraudulent text messages, emails, or telephone calls seeking personal information contact the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office at 1-800-351-4889.
Be Cautious & Protect Your Identity – If you are approached by anyone posing as a Census worker, do not release confidential information such as your social security number, card or account numbers. Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Phone Phishing An alarming increase in smishing (text message phishing) and vishing (phone phishing) using automated messages are targeting credit union members and nonmembers around the country to lure them to give up their card or account information. The automated message indicates the individual’s card has been deactivated and to reactive the card, he/she must enter their 16 digit card number, CVV2/CVC2, card expiration date, and/or PIN. In some cases there was no number attached to the call. Providing this information will result in subsequent fraud. We are asking our cardholders to NEVER respond to a text message or phone call that requests personal or account information. Monitor accounts on a regular basis and report unauthorized transactions immediately. |

Avoid embarrassment and future hassles!
Effective August 15, 2010, your account will become subject to new federal regulations governing overdraft services for ATM and debit card transactions. As a result, unless you give us authorization, your ATM or Visa debit card item could be denied because of insufficient funds. By giving us permission, we can continue to serve you as we have in the past. We want to continue to provide you excellent service. Click here to “opt in”. By doing so, you can avoid the embarrassment of a denied transaction. If you have questions, contact Member Services at 225-342-6618 or at your nearest branch location. |
Currently, when you use your ATM or Visa debit card and there are not enough funds in your account to cover the transaction, we have the option to authorize and pay the item (with a fee) or decline it. It has been Department of Corrections Credit Union’s practice to honor many of these transactions for our members. | Regulation D Limitations on Withdrawals and Transfers from Savings |
What is Regulation D?Federal Regulation D places a monthly limit on the number of transfers you may make from your Savings Account without your physical presence being required. Transfers affected by this regulation include: § Transfers made using Audio Response § Transfers made using Online Banking § Overdraft transfers made to cover insufficient funds in other accounts § Transfers made by a Teller or Member Service Representative via telephone § Pre-authorized, automatic, scheduled or recurring transfers You are allowed six (6) transfers per month, per savings account.
What transactions are not affected by Regulation D?§ ATM withdrawals § Transfers made to DOCCU loans § Transactions made in person at a branch § DOCCU Bill Pay which uses funds from your checking account. Tips to help you manage your savings accounts and avoid Regulation D limits:§ Plan ahead and make one large transfer instead of several small transfers. Each regulated transaction counts as one transaction, no matter what the dollar amount is. § Balance your checking account on a regular basis to limit the number of overdraft transfers from your savings account. § Set automatic ACH withdrawals from merchants to debit your checking account instead of your savings account since checking transactions are not subject to Regulation D.
If an account used for Overdraft Protection has reached its Regulation D limit, will overdraft requests be honored?If the source of overdraft protection is a savings account, we may return items once the number of transfers has been exceeded. You will receive a notice by mail, and incur an NSF fee for every overdraft attempt beyond your monthly limit. However, Overdraft Loans are not subject to Regulation D and the overdraft will complete normally. To apply for the Overdraft loan, you may apply online or contact your nearest branch location. FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATION D IS A DIRECTIVE OF THE GOVERNMENT, NOT OF DOCCU |
