**August 15, 2022 -**

We are aware of a recurring scam in which members receive a communication that claims to come from Vermont Federal Credit Union. 

We will NEVER ask for your Online/Mobile Banking credentials, one-time password, full debit or credit card numbers, or personal identification numbers—even if the text message provides one. Do NOT provide this information in response to a call, text, or email.

If you receive a text or call claiming to be Vermont Federal Credit Union that asks for any of the information listed above, do not respond. Hang up and call us directly at (888)252-0202.

Vermont Federal Credit Union is a $900 million-plus full-service, not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution that has served Vermonters for more than 70 years, with eight locations currently serving over 50,000 members. Members are part of a cooperative, meaning they share ownership in the Credit Union and elect a volunteer board of directors. Vermont Federal Credit Union provides membership to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in all of Vermont. Vermont Federal Credit Union is committed to supporting its communities and helping Vermonters prosper, no matter where they may be on life’s journey. [Learn more about Vermont Federal Credit Union.](https://www.vermontfederal.org/)
