Secure Email
Email transmitted across the Internet is normally not protected and may be intercepted and viewed by others. Therefore, you should avoid sending confidential or private information, such as your user ID, password, account number, or Social Security Number via unsecured email to APGFCU. APGFCU will never ask you to send confidential information to us via unsecured email.
If APGFCU requests any confidential information from you, we will ask you to send us a secure email through Online Banking or you may request to have a secure email sent to you, to which you can respond with the information requested. Alternatively, you may request a fax number or visit one of our branches.
Important note: Subject lines cannot be encrypted. Please do not include sensitive information in the subject line of a secure email. If you have any questions or need additional information, please email [email protected].
Security Essentials That Protect Your Accounts
Member Photo ID
We will scan your Photo ID and attach it to your account in our system, so when you come in to do your transactions, you won’t need to show your ID card or a driver’s license. The teller will pull up your photo and ask you to smile! Attaching your photo ID makes fraudulent access to your APGFCU accounts practically impossible. Someone may find your card in a parking lot or steal your wallet, but they can’t steal your smile. Stop in today and take this easy step to protect your identity.
