Text Messages are NOT used by the Credit Union to contact members

Connecticut residents are receiving text messages with wording similar to "Your Federal Credit Union Credit Card may have been compromised. Please call xxx-xxx-xxxx for more information." This is an attempt to steal people's personal information and is in no way related to the credit union. HPE Credit Union does not use text messages at all for notification purposes.

Notice that the text doesn't even designate a specific credit union name. What we're finding is thieves send out thousands of these messags. All it takes to make them successful is for a few people to respond and give away their personal information.

If you believe the Credit Union is trying to contact you, please call our administrative office and check with our staff. This way, you'll know a phone call is legitimate.
