Fraud Prevention Service

In our continuing efforts to keep your accounts secure, we’ve improved our alert system for potential NON-PIN fraud.

Here’s how it works:

  1. When potential fraud is detected, you will receive an automatic email notification from Southwest FCU, with the option to reply with “fraud” or “no fraud.”
  2. One minute after the email, you will receive a text alert from 32874 between 7am and 9pm, which also has the “fraud” or “no fraud” option.
  3. If there is no response received from you, five minutes after the text alert, you will receive automatic phone calls to confirm or deny fraud.

Remember-our messages will never ask for your PIN or account number.

*The phone number for our non-pin Fraud Center is 1-800-417-4592. If you add this number to your phone contacts and label it “Fraud Center,” it will display whenever you get a call from this number.
