Security Center
Protecting your information is our priority. Every member has a part to play in securing your own information.
How Sunlight Protects You
We have several tools and safeguards in place for your convenience and protection.
- Bill Pay Fraud Net
- Debit / Credit Cards
- Secure EMV (Chip) Technology
- Chip-enabled terminals communicate through a physical connection with the chip in your card, calibrating the card and securing the transaction with a one-time code.
- Digital Wallet
- Pay with your smart phone securely.
- Enfact Fraud Protection
- This automated system gives a risk rating for each transaction. It detects the likelihood of fraud on your card.
- If fraud is likely, Enfact can deny the transaction, and even temporarily block the card from being used.
- Two-Way texting
- If our fraud center suspects fraud on your card, they will send out a text notification.
- Simply verify if the purchase was yours by replying yes, or no.
- If the transaction was yours, your card will be ready to use.
- If the transaction was fraudulent, the card will be canceled and a new card ordered.
How You Can Protect Yourself
- Shred your documents
- Never throw away or recycle bank statements, bills, or any document that contains your personal information.
- Thieves riffle through dumpsters, and the landfills looking for your personal information.
- With that information they can open accounts, credit cards, or loans in your name.
- Secure your documents
- You don't need constant access to personal documents like birth certificates or marriage license.
- Keep them in a fireproof safe at home.
- Strengthen your passwords
- Use different passwords for each site you use.
- If a site you use is compromised, a hacker will have access to your passwords.
- Create strong passwords.
- Don't use words in your password that can be found in a dictionary.
- Don't use names of children, pets, or streets. These can be easily guessed.
- An easy way to remember a strong password is to think of a phrase then use the first letters of that phrase.
- example: Summer is a good time to go for a hike
- This becomes: SiAgTtGfAh
- Know who you are talking to
- Never give out personal information to a person who calls you if you don't know who they are.
- They may claim to be from the IRS, Credit Union, or other business.
- Thieves use this method all too often to get personal information from you.
- Don't be fooled
- It's nice to get help from tech support, but if someone calls you claiming that your computer is infected with a virus, hang up.
- If you are worried, take your computer to a local computer repair shop, or a knowledgeable friend for help.
- If they ever ask for passwords, or remote access to your computer, hang up.
- Lock your smart phone
- A lost phone is a thief's dream.
- A phone can have passwords, emails and a lot of other personal information.
- By putting a password on your phone, you make it that much harder for them to get your information.
- Anti-Virus protection for your computer
- Simply browsing to an infected website or clicking on a malicious link is all it will take to infect your computer.
- With this, hackers can gain access to files or even your entire computer.
- A good anti-virus is a must to protect yourself.
- Avoid oversharing
- Social media is where thieves go to learn about you.
- They will learn the names of friends and family to better trick you into giving up personal information.
- Things thieves look for on social media:
- email addresses
- birth dates
- location
- job
- family (mother's maiden name)
- Overall, don't get flustered
- A thief will try to scare or intimidate you into giving over information that you normally wouldn't.
- Take a step back and think it through.

If you authorized a charge but later decided you didn't want the service / product, this charge can not be disputed.
Example: Often a company will offer a "free" trial, but require you to cancel before a time has lapsed, or you will be signed up for a monthly subscription. This charge is not fraud and can not be disputed since it was an authorized charge.
