Debit/ATM card

Contactless cards, offer several benefits over traditional cards that require a physical swipe or insertion into a card reader. Some of these benefits include:

  1. Speed: Contactless cards can be scanned quickly and easily, making transactions faster and more efficient. This can be especially useful in high-traffic retail environments where lines are lengthy.
  2. Convenience: Contactless cards do not require a physical swipe or insertion, which can be particularly useful for people on the go, such as commuters or people running errands.
  3. Increased security: Contactless cards can reduce the risk of fraud because they use near-field communication (NFC) technology, which creates a secure connection between the card and the card reader. Additionally, the risk of card skimming is lowered because a contactless card doesn’t leave the cardholder’s possession.
  4. Reduced contact: Because contactless cards can be scanned without physical contact, they can help reduce the spread of germs and bacteria, which is especially important during a pandemic.
  5. Adoption: Contactless payments are becoming more widely adopted; it may be more convenient for cardholders to have contactless cards as many merchants are starting to accept them.

Contactless card transactions are generally faster and more convenient than traditional card transactions.

3 steps to take if your debit card was hacked

Keep a close eye on your account activity and report suspicious transactions immediately using this form. The sooner you tell us about any unauthorized debits or charges, the better off you’ll be.

1. Check your accounts for unauthorized charges or debits and continue monitoring your accounts

If you have online or mobile access to your accounts, check your transactions as frequently as possible. If you receive paper statements, be sure to open them and review them closely.

2. Report a suspicious charge or debit immediately

Contact us immediately if you suspect an unauthorized debit. If your physical credit card has not been lost you can protect yourself from being liable for unauthorized debit card charges by reporting those charges immediately after you find out about them. If you spot a fraudulent transaction, complete this form and return it.

3. Know when to ignore anyone contacting you to “verify” your account information by phone or email

This could be a common scam, often referred to as “phishing,” to steal your account information. We never ask for account information through phone or email that they initiate. If you receive this type of contact, you should immediately call People Driven Credit Union at (248) 263-4100. For more information on phishing scams, check out the FTC’s consumer alerts . For more information, check out consumer advisory.  &  IDENTITY THEFT AND FRAUD

An IRA CD works similarly to a regular CD.  Your initial investment earns a fixed interest rate over a set timeframe and renews automatically. The more money you put in, the higher your rate will be which means a bigger return on your investment. The main difference is that unlike a regular CD, an IRA CD offers certain tax advantages that are associated with a traditional or Roth IRA.

Rewards

United Concordia Dental is pleased to serve the dental insurance needs of People Driven Credit Union members and their families. People Driven Credit Union and United Concordia are partnering because we care about you and your family’s oral health. Oral health problems often tax the immune system, which can expose you to greater risk of illness and infection. To help maintain a healthier smile and a healthier you, we encourage you to follow the advice of your dentist and the American Dental Association. Your dental plan emphasizes preventive care to help avoid costly procedures commonly caused by delayed treatment.

What plans are available? – People Driven Credit Union members have the choice of three plan options, including Concordia Plus MI 20 Series (DHMO), Concordia Plus MI 40 Series (DHMO) or Concordia Flex (FFS).

  • Both Concordia Plus plans are managed care plans that require you to pre-select a primary dental office (PDO) from our Concordia Plus network for each of your covered family members and yourself. Each family member may select a different PDO. These plans reduce your out-of-pocket costs as they feature no deductibles and no annual maximum.
  • Concordia Flex is a fee-for-service (FFS) plan that provides you with access to many practicing locations through our Advantage Plus network. If your dentist does not currently participate in our network, you may still use your dentist but your out-of-pocket expenses are likely to be higher. Visiting one of our network dentists helps lower out-of-pocket costs and eliminates the need to fill out claim forms.

All of the plans include the Davis Vision Discount Program, offering discounts on eye exams, eyewear and laser vision correction. See the Davis Vision Discount Program flyer for more information.
