For added security, our Fraud Prevention Team continuously monitors debit card activity to help identify and prevent fraudulent transactions on your account.

If our Team is unable to reach you, they will leave a message asking you to call them back at (833) 735-1894 to verify your card activity. If you would like to contact our Fraud Prevention Team to discuss suspicious activity on your debit card, please call (833) 735-1894 or contact our Member Solutions Center at (866) 585-7628.
REMEMBER: St. Mary's Credit Union will never ask for personal information via the internet or by text message. If you receive any requests for personal information, such as your full Social Security number, debit card number, PINs or account numbers, by phone, text, email or other electronic method, please call our Member Solutions Center immediately at (866) 585-7628. If you would like more information about how we keep your information private and secure, please review our Privacy Policy.
Restriction on Out-of-State Debit Card Transactions
To provide you with additional debit card security in areas where fraud is most common, we have restricted some out-of-state debit card transactions to PIN based approvals only. This means that you can access your funds and make purchases with your debit card by using your PIN, but your transaction may not be approved if a signature or no authorization is required to complete the transaction. This precautionary measure will deter fraudsters who may attempt to use a stolen debit card number without having to authorize the transaction with a PIN.
If you are planning to travel or do business out-of-state or internationally, please contact our Member Solutions Center at (866) 585-7628. Our Member Solutions Center Representatives will review your travel plans with you and provide advice regarding transactions at your destination.
