Before leaving:

• Call your credit union to let them know when and where you’re traveling. They’ll put a note on your account and will stay on alert for any fraudulent activity.
• Make a photocopy or scan the information on your cards. It could take a long time to find contact information for your accounts if you lose your wallet. Keep copies (in a secure place) of the fronts and backs of cards so that you can cancel your accounts quickly when needed. 

When accessing your accounts or paying bills online:

• Use a secure network with up-to-date antivirus software and a firewall.
• Don’t access your personal information from a public computer.
• Fully log out of your account when finished. 

When using an ATM:

• Be aware of your surroundings when entering your PIN and receiving cash.
• Make effort to use ATMs that are indoors, such as inside a financial institution.
