Debit Card Fraud Alerts
At River Valley Credit Union, keeping your account safe and secure is our highest priority, which is why we partner with SHAZAM to help protect your debit card against fraudulent activity.
With SHAZAM's fraud management solution powered by FICO® Falcon®, we are able to provide text alerts that notify you when suspicious activity is detected on your River Valley debit card. This added protection is automatic, and text message alerts are free.
How It Works
If you receive a fraud alert via text message, please reply "Yes" to confirm the activity or "No" to deny it. View example.
If you reply "No" (the activity is fraudulent):
- You'll receive a follow-up text, letting you know that a SHAZAM Fraud Specialist will call you shortly to help you protect your account
- AND we'll automatically block your debit card to prevent additional fraudulent activity
If you reply "Yes" (the activity is legitimate):
- You can continue to use your debit card as normal
We’ll attempt to reach you via automated voice call if you don’t reply to the text, or if your phone number is not a mobile number.
Contact Information
Make sure you have these numbers saved in your contacts so you don’t miss any alerts:
