RALEIGH, N.C.--(www.allCUnews.com)--State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU) has surpassed the 135,000 mark with it Member Identification (ID) Card Program, “It’s A Me Thing.” SECU completed ID equipment implementation in all of its 202 branch locations in August 2006. The card, available at no cost, provides members an identification tool that includes their name, photo and signature, all housed in SECU’s image system. The magnetic stripe helps in fraud prevention by associating the member’s identification with their account and driver’s license information. To further thwart fraud, the Credit Union is also providing photos on all SECU debit and credit cards. Statistics prove a photo card is less likely to be used for fraudulent activity than a traditional card. Identity theft is a rapidly increasing form of fraud and State Employees’ Credit Union, with its Member ID card program is aggressively working to help protect its members.
