Online Banking Security Q&A
Your account security is our top priority.
Q: What protections are available to me as an Online Banking user?
A: Your account is protected by a multi-factor out of band authentication process that adheres to the rigorous federal guidelines put forth by the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council. Additionally, your online access will be frozen if the authentication process fails more than two successive attempts. If this happens, our Member Service Representatives will unlock your online account provided you are identified successfully.
Q: Will MEFCU ever contact me in need of my password or log in ID? If so, how?
A: MEFCU will never contact you for your Online Banking password or log in ID. If you receive such communication, do not provide any information and immediately contact MEFCU to investigate the situation.
Q: Will MEFCU ever contact me regarding my Online Account?
A: It certainly can happen, however please remember that we would never ask for your log in ID or password.
Q: Is there anything I can do to help ensure my Online Account information stays safe?
A: To protect our members, MEFCU takes every precaution possible and continues to exceed federal guidelines for safeguarding financial institution data. However, we’d like to remind members that protecting your personal data online is everybody’s responsibility! Personal passwords, pictures, music, documents, and financial data may be on your laptop and/or home computer that connect to the internet on a regular basis. Often these are vulnerable to attack, but can be protected from most criminals with just a few easy steps:
- Protect all devices that connect to the internet. Automatic software updates are available for many programs and these updates are often created to protect against known risks or hackers. Turn this on if available, and certainly do so for your antivirus software on your computer. If you do not have antivirus software installed on your home computer we highly recommended doing so.
- Your password should be as unique as your fingerprint. pass123, abc123, are pretty unoriginal passwords and not very effective. Yes, not everyone may know what your child’s name and birthday are, but a hacker can find out within seconds. Combine capital and lowercase letters with numbers and symbols to create yours, and write it down so you don’t forget it. Then store that piece of paper in a safe location far away from your computer.
- Don’t blindly click on everything out there! Would your Aunt Joan really send you a link to a free Las Vegas vacation? Do you know someone named John Sanders from your high school, or could this be a scam? When in doubt… just hit delete. If Joan really won tickets, she’ll call you soon enough.
- Secure your home network WiFi. WiFi (Wireless network) routers usually come out of the box with little to no security turned on. Do not leave your WiFi network at home unsecured without a password. Others that connect to your network can possibly hack your connected devices via this open connection. Thoroughly read the directions and turn the wireless encryption (WEP) on and ensure all PCs, game devices, etc. need a password to connect. Once again, use a secure password.
