Harnessing innovative technology with Automated Fraud Alert
Ukrainian FCU is now live with Automated Fraud Alert (AFA) / Free to End User (FTEU) for all UFCU credit and debit cards!
AFA is a service that uses automated channels to notify a member about suspect transactions:
Digital voice – an automated calling system that is used to notify and allow the member to respond interactively to suspect transactions.
FTEU SMS – a text messaging solution that allows a member to receive and respond to free SMS messages regarding suspect transactions.
Email – email(s) will be delivered to the home and work email addresses providing information regarding suspect transactions.
All members are automatically enrolled. There is no registration required for AFA.
For the AFA tool to be effective members are solely responsible for updating their personal contact information including phone number and e-mail address.
