WAKE UP THOSE
DORMANT
ACCOUNTS
April 15th is the state mandated deadline!
Tri-Valley Service FCU is required to report
Unclaimed Property (escheat) to the Pennsylvania
Department of Revenue for accounts that have
been “dormant” for the last five years. An account is
considered dormant if there have been no withdrawals, deposits or transfers made during this
period. The best way to be safe is to WAKE UP
your account by making a deposit and watching
your TVSFCU accounts grow. If you are unsure of
the status of your account please contact your local
office or call 412-344-3406.
LET US HELP YOU!
We know and understand that times are tough
and saving now a days can be even tougher. Why
not consider having your paycheck direct deposited
into your Credit Union account and have automatic
transfers set up for a sub account?
Did you know that your Credit Union
offers Christmas and Vacation clubs?
Maybe there is a certain something that you
have been thinking about purchasing. Why not
start today down the saving path. Sub accounts
are easy to set up. Your Credit Union Representative is just a phone call away to help you with this.
With direct deposit and direct transfers
into the accounts all you have to do is sit
back and watch them grow!
Once again Tri-Valley Service Credit Union is looking out for your
best interest, and we mean that literally!
ATTENTION ALL SHARE CERTIFICATE HOLDERS:
Tri-Valley is now offering our investors a one-time bump up option on certificate purchases. One example
would be locking into a longer-term, higher earning investment just to realize that the rates have gone
up during the term of this entity. Now our members will have the ability to utilize our new bump up
opportunity to avoid closing the investment and being assessed a fee in order to re-invest at the higher rates.
Call the Credit Union for details about this new program.
FRAUD ALERT
2013 Holiday Closing Schedule
Recently some card issuers and financial
institutions across the industry have experienced
an increase in attempts by unknown fraudsters
to break the card verification value/card verification code (CVV / CVC) on compromised cards,
and thereby to commit card fraud, including ATM
fraud. This attempt to commit fraud is commonly
known as a “brute force attack”. To execute
these crimes, email is often used to transport
phishing scams and malicious software (malware) to obtain personal information including
personal identification numbers (PINs) and to
take over legitimate merchant accounts to test
the compromised cards.
You can help to reduce the likelihood of the
success of these attempts to commit fraud by
being alert for email that (1) contains unfamiliar
or suspicious links or attachments, (2) is
unsolicited and/or from an unknown sender,
(3) is sent multiple times from different senders,
or (4) contains poor grammar or incorrectly
spelled words. If you receive email that contains
any of these elements or any combination of
these elements, you should delete it immediately.
Do not open it, click on the links or open any
attachment. You should not attempt to reply to
the email or forward it to anyone.”
