What FCU is doing in response to Covid-19

We remain committed to providing high-level member service for our members. We are taking the following measures in response to the coronavirus:

  • Follow the CDC and local authorities guidelines and mandates.
  • Increased cleaning and sanitation efforts in our branches (including ATM screens and keypads) and corporate office
  • Reinforcing the importance of healthy habits for our employees;
  • Added hand sanitizers throughout all branches and corporate office
  • Limiting business-related employee air travel until further notice
  • Modifying, postponing or cancelling large meetings; and
  • Enhanced risk monitoring and management.

What you can do:

Ensure you have account access

  • Online & Mobile Banking – Florida Credit Union members have access to their accounts without visiting a branch through online banking and the mobile app. If you have not already done so, now is a good time to set up electronic access to your accounts by registering for online banking and/or downloading the Florida Credit Union mobile app:

Apple App Store      Google Play

  • Direct Deposit and Bill Pay – You may also want to consider services like direct deposit for your paychecks, recurring deposits, and automatic electronic bill pay to make the management of your finances easier and more efficient, while limiting your physical contact with the public.
  • ATMs – Don't forget that you can view your account information and access your money completely surcharge-free at any Pulse Network, Presto! (accessible at any Publix store), or Florida Credit Union ATM 24/7. 


Watch out for scams:

As more people migrate to digital channels of communication at this time, be extra vigilant against fraud. Be on the lookout for any suspicious messages such as medical supply scams, IRS tax scams, and fraudulent donation sites encouraging you to share sensitive information such as your social security number, account username and password. FCU will never ask you to prove who you are through texts, email or phone calls. If you suspect a fraudster is acting as Florida Credit Union to gain access to your sensitive information, please do not hesitate to contact us in our call center or send information to security@flcu.org.
