How we protect your interests
Proactive Behavioral Monitoring

This includes sudden geographical shifts or high-velocity card-not-present transactions. Our system often freezes the account before you even notice the activity, preventing loss before it scales.

Every andrews federal credit union online banking session is analyzed for anomalies in device fingerprinting and location data.
Automatic Alerts
Receive encrypted SMS notifications the moment a high-risk transaction attempts to clear your account.
Your Role in Defense
The most effective defense against unauthorized account access is the combination of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and vigilance.
- Check for small-dollar 'test' transactions daily.
- Never share one-time passcodes over the phone.
- Update contact information regularly to ensure alerts reach you.
- Lock lost cards immediately via the mobile app.
