NHCU Visa Credit Card information is now located behind Online Banking with other NHCU account information under a separate Credit Card tab. This will avoid the need to toggle between two different web pages. The current payment/reward link on the Visa Credit Card web page is still available as some Mobile Devices may not be compatible to use the Credit Card feature behind Online Banking. If you have our credit card, you will be asked to register your card behind Online Banking at that time. Members not enrolled in our free Online Banking may enroll at NewHCU.org.

Protect Yourself Against Fraud - SCAM ALERT
New reports show that scammers are emailing and texting pictures of real and doctored law enforcement credentials and badges to prove they are legit and scam people out of money. Scammers may change some information, but the basic scam is the same. Please know that no one in federal law enforcement will send photographs or credentials or badges to demand any kind of payment and neither will government employees. Basic Tips to protect yourself include: Do NOT take immediate action - hang up or ignore the message and talk to someone you trust; Do NOT transfer your money or buy a gift card - scammers use these forms of payment because they are hard to trace; Be Skeptical - scammers may also create fake phone numbers so do not trust your caller ID; Be Cautious - do not provide personal information; and Do NOT click on links or attachments - block unwanted calls, texts, and emails. For more information on Scams, visit ftc.gov/scam. If you feel you are a victim, stop talking to the scammer, notify your financial institution to safeguard your accounts. Then, contact local law enforcement to file a police report.
It is always important to take further measures to protect yourself by not sharing passwords, always checking your account for unknown activity, and being aware of phishing attempts from unsolicited websites. Remember, New Horizons Credit Union has systems in place that monitors members’ accounts for possible fraud. You may be contacted if fraud is suspected, but NHCU will never ask for personal information such as online credentials, your entire card number, account number, or social security number via email, voice, or text messaging. If you ever feel you have been a victim of fraud, please contact us at (251) 316-3240 during normal business hours, or for after-hours, call (800) 449-7728. You may also contact the Federal Trade Commission to report fraud at identitytheft.gov.
