Security
You understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your accounts and you agree to promptly examine your eStatement for each of your Credit Union accounts as soon as you access it. You agree to protect the confidentiality of your account and account number, and your personal identification information, as well as your driver's license number and social security number. You understand that personal identification information by itself or together with information related to your account, may allow unauthorized access to your account. Data transferred via eStatement is not encrypted. You acknowledge that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data transfers, including electronic mail, occur openly on the Internet and potentially can be monitored and read by others. We cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers utilizing the Internet, or email transmitted to and from us, will not be monitored or read by others.
Password Security.
For security reasons, we require that you login to Online Banking to access your eStatements. If you incorrectly enter your password five times you will be temporarily prevented from access. If you cannot remember your password you should contact us at 323-268-1226 to have your password reset.
Your login password is confidential information that should be known only by you. The Credit Union will not, for any reason, ask for your login password. If anyone contacts you and requests this information, contact us immediately. You are responsible for keeping your login password confidential.
Here are some suggestions for maintaining password secrecy:
• Memorize your passwords – never write them down.
• Try to use random numbers and letters for your password. Avoid using passwords that could be easily guessed by others (your name, your phone number, your date of birth, etc.).
• Always exit the internet browser before leaving your computer unattended.
• Notify the Credit Union immediately if you have any reason to believe that the confidentiality of your password has been compromised.
• If you have a “multiple-party account”, your password may be changed using the procedure described above by an authorized party to your account. THE CREDIT UNION SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY TO ANY OF THE PARTIES TO A MULTIPLE-PARTY ACCOUNT IF THE PASSWORD IS CHANGED USING PROCEDURES WE AUTHORIZE.
