Scammers are always trying to find new ways to access your information and your accounts, using tactics like:

Phishing. Sending emails disguised as being from reputable people or organizations, like friends, family members or your local credit union.

Vishing. Have you ever gotten a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, requesting information because there “was something wrong with your tax return”? Or a representative from your financial institution claiming there’s a problem with your account? That’s vishing.

Smishing. Like phishing, but through text. This one’s particularly sneaky because people tend to trust texts more readily than phone calls.

Skimming. By tampering with credit card readers and ATMs, criminals can stealthily capture card information and the cardholder is none the wiser.

Fraudulent websites. Most of us know to watch out for suspicious links. But spoofed websites are a bit trickier. People typically end up on a spoofed site when they type their destination into a search bar and the search result gets hijacked, pointing the user to a fraudulent site instead.

At OCCU, we take every step possible to protect your personal information and your finances. That includes providing you with resources to help you spot the scams so you can stay vigilant. Our Member Security YouTube playlist will let you know how to protect yourself.

When we work together, your finances and your information are doubly fortified against intruders.

You work hard for your money. Wouldn’t it be nice to get it sooner?

We’re thrilled to announce that OCCU members now have the benefit of accessing money from direct deposits early!

We’ve talked before about the benefits of direct deposit. The convenience. The security. Now we can add speed to the list! When you have your paycheck direct-deposited, it could hit your account up to three days earlier.*

Direct deposits into these accounts will arrive up to three days early: 

- Checking accounts.

- Business checking accounts.

- Savings accounts.

- Business savings accounts.

- Money market accounts.

- … And more!

There’s no cost and no need to enroll beyond having direct deposit set up. It’s just a perk of being an OCCU member.  

*Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. OCCU may, but shall not be required to under any circumstances, make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to three (3) days earlier than the scheduled payment date. OCCU does not assume any liability for not depositing these funds to your account early. OCCU may terminate early access at any time without notice.

Right now, we’re offering a limited 2.55% annual percentage yield (APY)⁹ with our 7-month certificate of deposit (CD) and a 4.75% APY⁹ with our 13-month CD. Take advantage of higher interest rates and reach your financial goals sooner. Give your savings a boost.

It’s perfectly natural to be concerned about your financial security. Even in times of prosperity, you should be mindful of potential issues with your savings and investments. And as news swirls about a potential government shutdown, it’s OK to worry.

But there’s no need to stress.

Remember: This isn’t the first time the country has faced a roadblock like this. And banking systems have evolved considerably since the Great Depression, or even 1987’s Black Monday. “There wasn’t the huge, centralized banking system we have now,” says Heather Metcalf AWMA® , OCCU financial advisor. “There are a lot of rules in place to prevent that from happening again.”

It’s also important to keep in mind that when your money is deposited into a checking or savings account, it’s insured. Your OCCU accounts — all credit union accounts, in fact — are insured by the NCUA up to at least $250,000 per individual depositor. If it’s in an OCCU account, it’s safe with us.

If you’re concerned about how a shutdown might affect your financial well-being, let us help. No matter where you are on your financial journey, our team of advisors can help you get on track, stay the course, or reroute. Let’s talk.

“There will always be movements in the market,” Metcalf said. “And you can’t have a rainbow without rain.” As an OCCU member, you have a partner with a vested interest in your financial success. When you bank with us, we have your back, rain or shine.
