Preventing Identity Theft

Part of our Dollars & Sense series on financial wellness.

This presentation is an overview on what identity theft is, how it happens, what you can do to defend against it, and where you can find other resources to learn more.

Rescheduled from August 6: This presentation is an overview on what identity theft is, how it happens, what the attendees can do to defend against it, and where they can find other resources to learn more.

About the Presenter: Carylin Melendez was born and raised in Puerto Rico.  Though she studied to become a teacher, life took her down a different path, banking. She has been in banking for more than 20 years. Carylin enjoys helping people, and her position as Financial Wellness Officer has allowed her to come full circle, empowering and guiding Visions Federal Credit Union members and non-members through their financial journey.

Visions Federal Credit Union was founded by eight IBM workers and 40 bucks. That’s right - five little dollars each in 1966 became more than $5.5 billion in assets today.  In the decades that followed, we’ve gradually grown to more than 250,000 members served by nearly 60 branches in three states. We’re proud of that and everything credit unions stand for.  Credit unions are not-for-profits owned by the members, which means we work for them and not stockholders. When a credit union makes profits, it goes right back to the members in the form of low interest rates, smaller fees, and dividends. Plus, our member deposits are federally insured, and no member of a federally insured credit union has ever lost one penny of insured savings.
