Your Safety is Our Priority
Suncoast is committed to keeping you protected and secure. We also provide the resources your need to report suspicious emails or transactions, lock and unlock your credit and debit cards, and learn how to keep your personal information safe.
If you have been a target or are concerned you may have been a victim of a scam, please send an email to abuse@suncoastcreditunion.com.
If you suspect that there is a fraudulent transaction on your account, you can dispute the transaction using SunNet Online Banking or the SunMobile app.
To dispute a transaction using SunNet Online Banking, go to your account, find the suspicious transaction, click on the envelope icon next to it, and follow the prompts.
To dispute a transaction using the SunMobile app, go to your account, find the suspicious transaction, click on the arrow icon next to it, click the “Dispute” button, and follow the prompts.
If you misplace your credit or debit card, use Card Lock to temporarily lock your card and protect your funds.
- Login to SunNet Online Banking or the SunMobile App
- Choose “Manage My Cards”
- All of your debit and/or credit cards will display, and you can lock or unlock each card as needed
If you need to use your credit or debit card while traveling outside of your normal area, set a travel notification to prevent your card from being temporarily blocked by fraud prevention.
Set travel notifications in the Cards section of the SunMobile app or SunNet Online Banking. You may also submit travel notifications in your nearest Suncoast branch or by phone at (800) 999-5887.
Travel notifications should be set at least 3 days prior to going out of town to avoid the inconvenience of a blocked card while traveling.
- Create strong passwords with a combination of capital letters, lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. Never reuse the same password or use easy to guess personal information as a password.
- Learn the warning signs of a phishing email to help keep your private information safe.
- Learn how tax scams work and how to protect yourself. Many scams have the same basic pattern. They use trickery to get you to share personal data or pay money based on a false threat or promise.
- Take time to make sure that every family member is protected with security software, preferably set up so that it updates automatically.
- Make sure that your kids, spouse or senior relatives all know how to avoid becoming a victim of online scams.
