May 26, 2009, Alexandria, Va. – The Helping Families Save Their
Homes Act of 2009, signed into law May 20, 2009, includes a provision extending
$250,000 share insurance coverage provided by the National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund through December 31, 2013. Previously, this level of coverage
was set to expire December 31, 2009. The new law also requires NCUA to use
the higher $250,000 standard maximum share insurance amount when making
decisions about premiums and administering insurance deposit adjustments.
NCUA will shortly update its guidance about share insurance coverage to
address the provisions of the new law.
The National Credit Union Administration is the independent federal agency
that regulates charters and supervises federal credit unions. NCUA, with the backing of the
full faith and credit of the U.S. government, also operates and manages the National
Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, insuring the deposits of nearly 90 million account
holders in all federal credit unions and the majority of state-chartered credit unions.

What is Fraud?
It's the fastest-growing crime in the U.S. Most people don't realize they've
been victimized until months later. Fraud or identity theft happens when your
personal information is taken without your permission to make withdrawals,
or open accounts. This can damage your credit rating.
What can You do to Prevent Credit Card Fraud?
- Sign your cards immediately.
- Carry your card separately from your wallet.
- Keep a record of your account numbers, expiration dates, address and phone number of each company.
- Watch your card during a transaction, and get it back as quickly as possible.
- Save receipts to compare with your billing receipts.
- Void incorrect receipts and shred carbons.
- Open bills promptly and review thoroughly, reporting any questionable charges promptly and in writing to your card issuer.
- Notify card companies in advance of a change in address.
- Do not lend your cards to anyone or leave them (or receipts) lying around.
- Do not write your personal identification number (PIN) for cash withdrawals on your card or near it.
- Shred anything with your account number on it prior to throwing it away.
- If you don't receive your billing statement, notify your card issuer immediately.
- Do not sign a blank receipt.
- Never write your account number on a postcard or the outside of an envelope.
- Never provide your credit card number over the phone to an unsolicited caller.
- Request and review a copy of your credit report at least annually. Visit the Coventry Credit Union website www.coventrycu.org for more information.
As valued members of Coventry Credit Union, you have the power to share your experiences with your family and friends.
To show our appreciation, when you refer a new member who opens a checking account with us, we will
deposit $20.00 into your CCU savings account.
As you have experienced, Coventry Credit Union is a great place to save, borrow, and conduct business. We offer the latest in financial products and services ensuring the best possible experience. We encourage you to share your experiences with those closest to you so they can enjoy the same benefits of membership too!
Whether you're at home, at work, or on the road, Coventry Credit Union is here for you 24 hours a day,
seven days a week with our online banking program, Member Net.
We understand the sensitive nature of your financial records, and that is why we think it is important that
you are confident in our security standards. We have several measures in place that work together to create a secure environment for your financial information. To help explain how our account access is secure, let's look at how it works.
Security at Your Computer
The first step in preserving your identity is to take an active role in securing your personal information.
It is recommended to access your account on a personal computer where no one else may have access to it without your permission. Your PIN (Personal Identification Number) should not be selected from obvious clues like the names of your children or pets. We also discourage you from saving passwords in your computer.
Securing Data as it Travels Across "The Net"
Member Net is a very secure way to handle your online transactions. We only require that your web browser have encryption capability, which most browsers already have. This will prevent anyone from "eavesdropping" on your data as it travels between you and Coventry Credit Union. We call this type of software security protection Secure Sockets Layer or SSL.
When you log on to our website, our computers detect if your browser is enabled for encryption. Behind the scenes, in a matter of milliseconds, your computer and Coventry's randomly pick a number that will serve as the "key" during your brief session online.
As a user, you do not have to do a thing, except make sure your web browser version can participate in this process. After both computers select a random key, the information you send to us is scrambled when it crosses the Internet until it reaches our computers where it is then unscrambled for processing. This
ensures that no one can identify the information without the matching keys.
Security at Coventry Credit Union
At Coventry Credit Union, we employ the latest computer technology to protect your data on all of our computers, including those used in supporting our Member Net system. Once your information reaches us via the Internet, it goes through another security computer, called a firewall. A firewall acts as a security guard for Internet traffic and ensures that your information is safe.
Join the Coventry Credit Union Team, devoted to helping our members on a daily basis, and making their connection with us a special and unique one. For full time employees, the following benefits are offered:
- Medical and Dental Insurance
- Paid vacations and sick/personal days
