Fraud and Security Center

Your guide to detecting, avoiding, and preventing fraud & how to recover if it happens.

First Northern Credit Union will NEVER make an unsolicited call or text asking for your
PIN, security code, one-time passcode, or online banking credentials. However, starting February 10, 2025, First Northern Credit Union Debit Visa Card holders may receive text messages requesting verification of suspicious transactions. These texts will only ask for a simple YES or NO response. If you reply NO, your card will be locked for your protection, and you will be asked to call our Fraud Center.​
The Fraud Center may ask for identifying details, such as your full name or account number.
If you're ever unsure about a request, contact us directly at (888) 328-8677 ext. 503.
