Arkansas Federal’s Guide to Financial Security
Protect yourself from fraud
Fraudsters are constantly trying new and inventive ways to gain access to your personal financial information. Learn to spot and report suspicious activity to protect your identity and money.
The Bottom Line
Never share a secure access code sent to your phone or email. Arkansas Federal will never call, text, or email you to ask for your account number, credit card information, debit card information, pin numbers, or secure access code. If you answer a call that’s suspicious, hang up and call us directly at 800.456.3000 to confirm the correspondence. This is the same course of action if you receive a suspicious email or text. Don’t reply, and don’t click on any links; instead, reach out to our call center to see if it’s legit.
