Visa Secure and Visa Account Updater

Visa Secure
Visa Secure (formerly Verified by Visa) simply means you get access to an added layer of protection, keeping your money safer while you are shopping online. When making a purchase from a merchant participating in Visa Secure, you may be guided through an extra step to confirm your identity. No need to do anything on your part other than follow the prompts. Visa Secure does the work to ensure it’s an authorized transaction.

Visa Account Updater
Visa Account Updater (VAU) automatically sends cardholder data to participant merchants when the card information is updated. It offers a seamless account update process without the need for direct action on your part. For example, if your phone bill automatically charges to your credit card every month, without the VAU, you would need to update your card info yourself in the event of a new card. With VAU, Visa will send the updated card info to that merchant for you. 

If you do not wish to have your card information automatically sent to participant merchants in the event of a new card, you can opt out by calling 800.347.9222.

Please note: you must opt out before your old card has expired, or within 24 hours of ordering a new card when the old card is lost or stolen.

Common questions about credit cards

 

Visa Purchase Alerts is an easy-to-use tool that helps members track spending and identify fraudulent activity early. Customize your alerts by choosing which debit or credit card transactions should trigger a notification and receive near real-time updates via text or email.

It only takes three steps to enroll in Visa Purchase Alerts:

1. Check to see if your Visa account is eligible.

2. Register your mobile device and/or email to receive Visa Purchase Alerts.

3. Choose the notification triggers that match your needs, such as transactions exceeding a set amount and online or international purchases being made.

Visa has developed a program that helps confirm your identity when you make an online purchase. This service helps make shopping online more secure by protecting against unauthorized use of your Visa card. There’s no need to download anything, install software, or register for an account. During an online purchase from your desktop, mobile or other digital device, you may be guided through an extra check to verify your identity. This helps us ensure you’re you and better protects you from fraud.

This service automatically works at checkout at participating merchants. There is no need to download anything, install software or register for your account to get this added layer of protection. When using this service, you may occasionally be prompted at checkout to verify your identity, but this is to ensure you’re you and protect you from fraud.

There is no cost to you for this service! Solarity covers the cost on your behalf to ensure you have this added protection and peace of mind.

Beware of scammers impersonating Solarity, other financial institutions; red flags to watch for

Jul 5, 2023, 20:37 PM by User Not Found
Scammers never take a day off and can be quite crafty. They will often impersonate people you trust, including your financial institution.

Scammers never take a day off and can be quite crafty. They may impersonate people you trust, including your financial institution. Recently, we learned of a disturbing case where scammers were impersonating Solarity Credit Union to defraud a member. Even if a call, email or text message seems like it is legitimate, it is important to always be over-cautious. When we reach out to our members, as a trusted financial partner, we already have key information about them. We will verify your account information with pre-determined security questions that were set up when you opened your account.

Solarity or any other legitimate financial institution will never:

  • Ask for your account number
  • Ask for your password or ask you to reset your password
  • Ask for your credit or debit card numbers
  • Ask you to initiate a transaction, including withdrawing funds from your account, or use alternate payment methods like gift cards or cryptocurrency

What to do if you’re unsure

The most cunning of scammers will pull out all the stops to convince you that the call is legit, including making the number on your caller ID appear to be from a trusted source. This is known as “spoofing.” So, trust your gut. If something doesn't feel right, hang up with the caller, find the legitimate phone number of the financial institution and call them back.

How to protect yourself

Scammers work full time at defrauding you. Here are some key ways to avoid becoming a victim:

  • If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Even if you’re emotionally invested in what’s happening, take the time to stop and think before you act.
  • Use caution when clicking links or opening email attachments – unless you know the person, you should avoid it.
  • Verify the person’s legitimacy by hanging up or not responding. On your own, locate and contact them through their official email address or phone number.
  • Be suspicious of anyone asking for money, particularly a method that can’t be reversed or cancelled like gift cards or wire transfers
  • Watch out for the "fear" factor. Urgency is a favorite tactic of fraudsters. If someone is pressuring or threatening you, there's a good chance they are trying to scam you. 
  • Use unique, complex passwords to help keep your online accounts secure, and never share them with anyone.
  • Block unwanted calls and text messages
