Secure Your Accounts
Criminals are always looking for ways to steal account and personal information. To protect your money and banking experience, we make significant investments in security resources that defend member accounts. Your financial security is also dependent on how you protect yourself.
Safeguard Your Information
Do not share passwords, security codes, PIN information, full debit or credit card numbers, or CVV codes. Michigan First will never contact you asking for your account number or your social security number. Sharing this information with anyone may compromise your financial security.
Often times, scammers will “spoof” a financial institutions’ phone number to look legitimate. Scammers will text or call from these numbers pretending to work for the organization in order to retrieve personal and financial information.
If you were not expecting a call or text message from us, please do not respond. Michigan First will never unexpectedly call or text you asking for login credentials, credit card numbers or any other personal information. Do not share this information. Instead, hang up the phone or ignore the text message and call us directly at 800.664.3828.
