When it comes to your hard-earned money, peace of mind is everything. Whether you’re saving for the future, preparing for a big purchase, or just trying to build a cushion for unexpected expenses, one question is probably top of mind: Is my money safe?

At Freedom Credit Union, the answer is a confident yes.

In fact, your money is protected in more ways than you might realize. From federal insurance to advanced security systems, we take your financial safety seriously. Because it’s not just about dollars and cents. It’s about trust.

Let’s break down exactly how we keep your funds and personal information secure, so you can feel confident banking with us.

1. We’re Federally Insured Just Like Big Banks

One of the most common misconceptions about credit unions is that they’re somehow riskier than traditional banks. That’s simply not true.

Freedom Credit Union is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). That means every deposit you make is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, just like at a bank insured by the FDIC.

Your deposits are insured up to $250,000 per member.
This includes your savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, and certificates.

So whether you’re depositing your paycheck, stashing away savings, or rolling over a CD, you can rest easy knowing your money is safe, even in the unlikely event something were to happen to the credit union.

Quick tip: If you have multiple accounts or share accounts with a spouse or family member, your total insured amount could be even higher. Ask us how to structure your accounts for maximum coverage!

2. We Use Bank-Level (and Better) Security

Insurance is just one layer of protection. At Freedom Credit Union, we’ve also invested in industry-leading technology to help guard your personal data and keep your accounts safe from fraud.

Here’s what that includes:

• Top-Tier Encryption: All online and mobile transactions are protected by high-level encryption, making it incredibly difficult for unauthorized users to access your information.

• 24/7 Fraud Monitoring: Our systems actively monitor for unusual activity, like suspicious purchases or login attempts. If something doesn’t look right, we’ll alert you immediately.

• Multi-Factor Authentication:When you log into your account, you may be asked to confirm your identity using an extra step, like a text message code or authentication app. This helps prevent unauthorized access, even if someone has your password.

• Card Controls and Alerts: We offer tools that let you instantly freeze or unfreeze your debit card, set spending limits, or receive real-time transaction alerts, so you’re always in the driver’s seat.

3. We Protect You from Scams and Fraud

Criminals are constantly finding new ways to try and trick people out of their money, but we stay one step ahead.

Freedom Credit Union partners with national fraud prevention networks and law enforcement to monitor the latest scam tactics and respond quickly when threats emerge. If your card is compromised in a large-scale breach, we’ll often replace it automatically before issues arise.

We also take time to educate our members through newsletters, social media, and in-branch support, so you know what to watch out for.

If you ever get a suspicious call, email, or text asking for account information, stop and give us a call directly. We’ll help you determine what’s real and what’s not.

4. We’re Local and Member-Focused So Your Best Interest Is Always Top of Mind

Unlike big banks that serve shareholders, credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. That means we serve you—our members.

Our structure allows us to prioritize your financial wellbeing over corporate profits. That means fewer fees, better rates, and personal service. But it also means we’re deeply invested in your security.

We live and work in the same communities you do, right here in Utah. So you’re not just another account number to us. You’re a neighbor. And we take care of our own.

5. Need Help? We’re Always Here.

If you have questions about your accounts, want to set up fraud alerts, or just want to talk to a real person about your money, we’re just a phone call or a short drive away.

You can also stop by our branches in Provo or Springville, where our friendly team is always ready to help.

A Few Quick Tips to Stay Even Safer

While we do everything we can on our end, you can also help protect yourself by taking a few smart steps:

• Watch for phishing emails or texts that look like they’re from your financial institution but ask for personal info.

• Use strong, unique passwords for your accounts.

• Enable alerts for all account and card activity.

• Keep your contact info up to date so we can reach you quickly if needed.

• Never share your PIN or online banking login with anyone.

If you ever notice something off or just have a bad gut feeling, don’t ignore it. Give us a call and we’ll take a look.
