When it comes to managing your finances, a checking account is often the cornerstone of everyday life. It’s where your paycheck lands, where your bills are paid from, and often where your spending starts. But not all checking accounts are created equal. For the members of Community Choice Credit Union, the Choice Checking account offers more than a place to store money—it provides peace of mind with cutting-edge Identity Theft Monitoring and Resolution services.
In this blog, we’ll explore how real people from Michigan and beyond are finding security, convenience, and accessibility with their Choice Checking account features. These are authentic stories of members who trust Community Choice to not just safeguard their money but their identity and credit scores too.
In our members’ own words
Our members love the advanced security features included with their Choice Checking account. Here’s what a few of them had to say about their real experiences:
And we don’t just hear from our satisfied members; we hear success stories from our Member Centers too! Here’s a great story about how identity theft was caught and prevented in real time:
“I had a member who was applying for a loan and received a call asking if he was in a different member center. There was someone trying to withdrawal money with a fake ID at a different member center. Luckily, he was already in our suite, and we were able to quickly assist him with his accounts with us, but we were able to help him with the stolen identity process, thanks to Choice Checking.“
Why identity theft protection matters
Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the United States. The havoc it can wreak on your credit scores, financial stability, and peace of mind is unimaginable for those who haven’t experienced it. The Identity Theft Monitoring included with Choice Checking keeps an eye on your financial health. Regular alerts notify you of any suspicious activity tied to your accounts or personal information, giving you the tools to act swiftly. And, if something were to happen, our resolution services provide the expertise and support you need to navigate fixing the issue.
