Security Features

  • EMV Chip Cards enhance safety at merchant terminals by providing an extra layer of security and authentication.  
  • Fraud Prevention measures are becoming increasingly proactive.  If a suspicious transaction is detected on your card, our fraud monitoring company will restrict your card and notify you via text message, phone call, and/or email.  Please ensure your contact information is up to date, so you receive any necessary fraud alerts.
  • Visa Secure (previously Verified by Visa) helps ensure payments are made by the rightful owner of the Visa card, protecting you against unauthorized purchases when shopping online.  Through Visa Secure, low-risk transactions are sent directly to the merchant for authorization, whereas high-risk transactions may require further verification.  This verification may be in the form of a one-time passcode (OTP) sent as a text message or email.  This authentication method offers a high level of security, and reduces delays in usage.  Visa offers comprehensive fraud protection to cardholders, and with Visa Secure, you get an extra layer of security for your online shopping experience.  IMPORTANT:  The OTP is sent based on information we have in our system, so it is important to keep your cell phone number and email address updated.

Overdraft Protection

broken piggy bank with coinsOverdraft Protection provides coverage for your checking in the event your account is overdrawn.  This service acts as a loan to cover your purchases, helping you avoid overdraft or transfer fees.  Funds are advanced in increments of $50, up to a maximum approval limit of $1,000*.  

You can transfer funds from your Overdraft Protection into your checking if you anticipate needing extra funds.  If a transfer happens automatically when items are clearing your account, the transfer will be done in $50 increments.  However, if you advance the funds yourself, you are able to transfer any dollar amount up to your available limit, even if that amount is less than $50.

A payment of $30 will be automatically deducted from your checking account on the 15th of each month.  If you would like to pay off your Overdraft Protection balance sooner, you can make additional or larger payments as needed. 

If you do not have Overdraft Protection and would like to apply, contact any M-O FCU employee for an application, or click here to print one yourself.

* Please not that any additional overdrafts will be subject to M-O FCU's overdraft policy.
