Beware of Unidentified Calls or Attempts to Gain Access to Your Online Banking Account
If you receive an unidentified call or voicemail about your online banking account, and you believe it to be suspicious or fraudulent, please hang up immediately and contact us at 800-475-1150. We are available to assist you.
Important Tips: Never provide your credit or debit card information, or online banking credentials to someone who calls you unsolicited. Be suspicious of any caller who asks for your personal information, such as your Social Security number or bank account number. If you are unsure about the legitimacy of a call, hang up and call us directly at 800-475-1150. We will never contact you to ask for your personal information or login credentials. A message from Collins Community Credit Union will always include identification.
While there have been other pandemic events in history, there’s a lot that’s unknown about coronavirus, and that includes the financial impact this period could have.
Collins Community Credit Union is here to offer guidance to improve your financial footprint and provide support as you work toward reaching your short-term and long-term financial goals.
We invite you to register for Money Smart Week, a week-long free virtual campaign to help people manage their finances, particularly those hardest hit by the pandemic.
Money Smart Week will be held online from April 10th to April 17th, with daily sessions on topics ranging from understanding the basics of federal student loans to managing personal finances during COVID-19.
While many of us may be ready to attend conferences in-person so we can wear our favorite heels or tie and mingle with like-minded people, the Money Smart Week conference is virtual. You can receive premium financial advice from your couch, and signing up is easy to do.
Attendance is free and open to the public, but we advise registering in advance. You can register online quickly and easily with your name and email. When registering, you can select one or all of the available eight events. If you have questions for the panelists, plan to submit them during registration since there won’t be a live Q&A forum.
Led by industry-leading finance experts, each session lasts only 15 or 20 minutes, with many scheduled over the lunch hour. Get bite-sized discussions that pack a lunch 𑁋 er, punch 𑁋 and provide you with the information and tools to help you get your finances back on track after a challenging year.
Check out the schedule below to see which topics may interest you most! Note that sessions will be available at Central Standard Time (CST).
