Protect your checks from fraud
At Aurora Policemen Credit Unionwe take every precaution to protect your account and your checks from fraud. Your checks are printed on paper with embedded security features to protect them against alteration and counterfeiting, and precautions are taken in the handling and delivery of
your checks.You can make a difference. Take action to prevent criminals from getting their hands on your checks and to safeguard your check's integrity:
DO
- Make the post office box your choice for outgoing mail, rather than your home mailbox.
- Treat your deposit slip as if it were a check. Remember, your account number is printed on deposit slips.
- Check your statements carefully against your check register. Duplicate checks may prove helpful by providing you with a record of every check you write.
- Avoid writing checks with pencil or erasable ink.
- Print, don't sign, your name when writing your return address on envelopes. A signature on the envelope can be copied and forged.
- Report lost or stolen checks and lost or stolen debit cards immediately
DON 'T
- Don't give your account number over the phone to anyone you don't know.
- Don't include your driver's license number or Social Security number on your checks.
- Don't write your credit card number on your check.
- Don't leave large, blank spaces in the check box or the amount line. Start the written dollar amounts as far to the left as possible. Draw a line between the cents value and the right side of the dollar line
