Travel Safety Tips

  • Use Surcharge-FREE ATM’s – Access your cash 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at thousands of Surcharge-Free ATM's nationwide at Alliance One (ATM's owned by other credit unions) and MoneyPass (US Bank Locations Only).
  • Be Cautious at Gas Stations and ATM's – A popular way to gain Debit or Credit Card information is by attaching devices to card readers at gas stations and ATMs. After using your card at an unfamiliar location, be sure to monitor your account for any suspicious activity.
  • Carry Multiple Forms of Payment – We recommend using your Credit Card for hotels and travel expenses instead of a Debit Card, since a Credit Card is not linked to your checking account.
  • Setup Account Alerts – When you set up alerts in Best Reward Online or via our Mobile Banking App, you can request a text or email notification each time there’s a deposit, withdrawal, or other activity on your account. Having this information can help you quickly stop unauthorized access to your account.
  • Let Us Know Before You Go – One-way Best Reward helps to keep your account safe is by blocking access to spending in many foreign countries. Unusual purchases may be flagged to protect your account as well. If you plan on traveling be sure to complete our Debit Card & VISA Card Travel Notification Form at least five business days before your departure date to ensure your card(s) will not be blocked.
  • Please Note – Using your Debit Card for payment on car rentals is restricted. Please use your VISA Credit Card for car rental transactions. This policy is in place for your protection.
  • Stay in Control – Download our Mobile Banking App and proactively manage your Debit Card.
