As your trusted financial partners, we prioritize your security during your summer travels. We understand the potential risks posed by cybercriminals. We are here to provide you with essential cybersecurity tips to protect your sensitive information.
Keep Us in the Loop:
When preparing for your upcoming travel, share the details with us. By informing us of your destination and dates, we can monitor your accounts for any suspicious activities while you're away.
Exercise Caution with Public Wi-Fi:
While public Wi-Fi networks at hotels, airports, and cafes offer convenience, they may compromise your security. Be cautious when accessing sensitive information like online banking on such networks. Reserve financial transactions and personal details for secure and trusted networks.
Keep an Eye on Your Accounts:
While enjoying your summer vacation, make it a habit to regularly check your bank and credit card accounts. Be vigilant for any unauthorized transactions or suspicious activities. You can use the Unity Catholic Mobile App to easily check your balance and turn off your debit card if it should go missing. If you’re concerned about a transaction, don't hesitate to reach out to us, and we will assist you promptly.
Set Up Account Alerts:
Stay informed by setting up account alerts. Receive real-time notifications via email or text for account activities, allowing you to spot unauthorized transactions and take immediate action.
Utilize Secure ATMs and POS Terminals:
When conducting cash withdrawals or making purchases during your travels, prioritize trustworthy ATMs and POS terminals. Criminals may attempt to tamper with these devices to steal your card information. Be attentive to signs of tampering and opt for secure locations for your transactions.
