ID Protection/Credit Monitoring

ID Protection/Credit Monitoring Services

Think you don’t need ID Protection and Credit Monitoring? Think again.

ID Protection and Credit Monitoring is consistently the number one complaint to the Federal Trade Commission. Rampant data breaches, affecting millions of records, are putting consumers at great risk of identity theft. It can happen to anyone—regardless of your age and income, where you live, or how careful you are. Restoring your identity on your own can be time-consuming and stressful. After a while, some people give up, leaving them to contend with the aftermath of identity theft and credit monitoring for years to come, including fraudulent bills, collections activity, damaged credit and even criminal records.

That’s why BHCU provides ID Protection and Credit Monitoring to share draft (checking) account holders at no cost.

We have partnered with one of the nation’s most trusted names in ID Protection and Credit Monitoring to provide you with access to a comprehensive suite of services to address fraud caused by ID theft if it happens to you or your family member.
