When you access your accounts through our website or mobile app, your connection is secured using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption, ensuring that any data transmitted between your device and our servers is unreadable to third parties. We also implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for logging in, requiring more than just a password to verify your identity, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.
Velocity Credit Union employs a range of proactive measures to ensure your account security and protect against fraud. Our infrastructure is designed with security in mind, from the physical protection of our data centers to the digital safeguards within our software.

Velocity Credit Union understands the devastating impact identity theft can have on individuals, and we are dedicated to assisting our members in preventing and mitigating its effects. We provide resources and support to help you understand how to protect your personal information.
We monitor for suspicious account openings or unusual credit inquiries that might indicate someone is attempting to use your identity. If we detect such activity, we will alert you immediately. Furthermore, Velocity Credit Union offers guidance on how to secure your personal data, including advice on creating strong passwords, recognizing phishing attempts, and safely disposing of sensitive documents. In the unfortunate event that you become a victim of identity theft, our team can guide you through the steps to report it and begin the recovery process, including working with credit bureaus and law enforcement.
For additional resources on identity theft prevention and recovery, we recommend visiting official government sites like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). IdentityTheft.gov provides valuable information and tools for victims of identity theft.
While Velocity Credit Union implements extensive measures to protect your accounts, your active participation is crucial for maintaining strong account security. Simple habits can significantly reduce your risk of becoming a victim of fraud or identity theft.
