Debit Card with 24x7x365 Fraud Monitoring Program 

Shopping with Advantage Credit Union's debit card brings with it the combination of the most sophisticated fraud detection technology with experienced fraud analysts. Each transaction is evaluated, and if a high-risk alert is detected, an analyst will contact you and inquire about any questionable transaction. If you get a phone call from Fraudwatch, please call them back at (866) 842-5208 or (855) 961-1602 for the automated verification method, which you will need to provide your case number.  If your transactions are getting denied or you need to report your card as being lost or stolen, please call us during business hours or (888) 263-3370 after hours. We are watching out for you.
