Protect Your Account: Fraud Alert!

Online fraud is on the rise, and scammers are becoming more sophisticated. Please be aware that criminals can "spoof" phone calls and text messages to make them appear as if they are coming from Polish-American Federal Credit Union.

Remember: PAFCU will never ask for your personal information, passwords, or PINs via an unsolicited call or text. If you receive a suspicious request, do not share any details. Instead, hang up and contact our branch directly and speak with a representative.

• Never share sensitive info via text or phone.

• Verify by calling us directly at a known, official number.

• Report any suspicious activity to our team immediately.
