Member of the Month
BCBSNC Credit Union honors and recognizes Pamela Elliott as our Member of the Month.
Pamela has been a member since October 2005. When asked why she joined the Credit Union,she states, "When I first started working at BCBSNC, I inquired about the Credit Union and a co-worker told me it is the best." "She explained that since it is OUR Credit Union, the staff understands the needs of the members." "What also sold me was that our Credit Union has all the services as a big bank, but is much more in touch with its members." Pamela enjoys spending time with her husband, Anthony, their children, Austin and Anthony Jr. and her new grandson Taylan. Pamela also takes online college courses and states "It's never too late to educate.'
Thank you, Pamela for your continued support.

Scam Alert:
Consumers should be on the lookout for automated phone calls pretending to be from your bank or credit union. The message says that your card has been suspended and asks you to contact their security department at the telephone number provided. When customers call the number, an automated system tells them to enter their card number, expiration date, and PIN in order to activate fraud protection on their accounts. This scam, called "vishing", is an attempt to steal your personal information including card numbers, expiration dates, and PINs for your debit and credit cards. The email version of this scam is called "phishing".
TIP: Never give your private information to someone you don't know who calls you on the phone. If you get an automated call that tells you to call another number, look up the correct number to call on your own. For example, call your credit card company at the phone number listed on the back of your credit or debit card or call your bank at the number listed on your bank statement.
If you've responded to one of these calls or been the victim of a similar scam, please contact Attorney General Roy Cooper's Consumer Protection Division for assistance at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.This message brought to you on behalf of North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper.

How To Access Your Free Credit Report
Each of the three nationwide credit reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – will provide you with a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months. They have established one central website, telephone number, and mailing address to use for ordering your report. The credit bureaus will only be providing the free annual reports through this central location, not through their individual websites, telephone numbers, or addresses.
Web: www.annualcreditreport.com
Telephone: 877-322-8228
Mail: Annual Credit Report Request Service
P.O. Box 105281
Atlanta, GA 30348-5281
You may get a free report from each of the three bureaus all at once, or stagger your requests throughout the year. If you request the report online, you should be able to view it immediately. Requests via telephone or mail will take approximately 15 days for processing.
Need a Car?
If you're in need of special help with purchasing a car, BCBSNC CU can help. We have added a new product called our Necessity Auto Loan. Sometimes members have difficulty qualifying for a car, but they are still in need of transportation to and from work. Our Necessity Auto Loan offers a maximum loan amount of up to $7,500 toward the purchase of the car for qualified members. There is no age limitation on the vehicle, but it cannot have more than 80,000 miles. The maximum term will depend on the age of the vehicle. Contact a loan officer at 765-1370 for more details.
