Fraud Prevention:

Capitol View utilizes a range of tools to prevent, anticipate, and identify potentially fraudulent activity, in order to protect member accounts. Here are a few tools to be familiar with:

  • Text Alerts
    • When a fraudulent transaction is suspected, members may receive a text message to confirm the activity is legitimate. The phone number these texts come from is 742926.
  • Fraud Monitoring Team
    • Our fraud monitoring team may call you to verify any unusual or suspected transactions. This may be an automated message or a live person. They will never ask you for your account number or social security number. If you are ever suspicious of a phone call claiming to represent the credit union please contact the credit union directly.
  • Travel Notifications
    • Travel can prompt false fraud alerts. It is recommended that you report any upcoming travel to the credit union at least a week in advance.

Checking, Savings, or Other Account:

Unauthorized account charges:
For example: If you had been paying for a policy, cancelled it, but are still being charged.
1.    Always attempt to resolve this type of issue with the company first. They will likely be able to resolve it faster than with a stop payment.
2.    If you cannot get help from the company, contact Capitol View to complete the ACH Stop Payment form. Stop payment fees may apply*.

For example: If you have a charge from an unknown individual/company with which you have never done business.
1.    Contact Capitol View at your earliest convenience during our normal business hours. Our staff will identify which transactions are fraudulent and begin the fraud recovery process.
2.    You may be asked to complete an affidavit confirming that you did not authorize the suspected transaction(s).
3.    If you suspect your identity has been stolen you will need to report that with local law enforcement along with the Social Security Administration.

Unauthorized debit card transactions:
1.    Always check with a spouse or secondary cardholder first regarding suspicious transactions.
2.    If you identify unauthorized or fraudulent activity on your debit card call 866-596-3059 to report it.
3.    Once the transaction(s) have been reported your current card will be closed and a new one reissued. Unless you suspect your PIN was also compromised, you will retain your old PIN.
