Protect Your Pin
Congressional FCU will never ask you for your credit card or check card PIN (personal identification number). We won't ask through email. We won't ask at our web site when you log on to your account. We will never ask you to give us your PIN in order to verify your identity. Your PIN is for you, and you alone, to use at ATMs and to pay for purchases at retail locations using the merchant's keypad. Otherwise, don't give out your PIN! Crooks use your PIN to access your financial accounts. If you encounter a web site or receive an email that asks for your PIN, contact us immediately at (800) 491-CFCU.
