Customer Responsibility

We encourage our customers take an active role in protecting their information:

  • Always use strong, unique passwords for online accounts. Do not reuse passwords and usernames across multiple accounts.
  • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security.
  • Update contact information regularly. Keeping contact information details up to date ensures that our Association can reach our customers promptly in case of suspicious activity.
  • Protect personal devices with antimalware software. Ensuring computers, tablets and smartphones are protected with antimalware software can help prevent unauthorized access to your devices and online accounts.
  • Be cautious of phishing attempts and unsolicited requests for personal information and/or pressure for urgent response and/or action. Do not click links from pop-up windows or contained within unsolicited emails or text messages.
  • Be cautious and do not engage with unknown callers requesting payment and/or sensitive information via phone.
  • Regularly monitor your accounts for any suspicious activity and contact us with questions.
