Liability
By applying for online account access, you agree to accept responsibility for protecting the integrity of your Member Number and Password, in order to prevent unauthorized transactions and/or account access. You also agree that Vantria Federal Credit Union may revoke your online access if unauthorized account access and/or transactions occur as the apparent result of your negligence in safeguarding the Member Number and Password. Granting access to your account online or via the Internet to any other person (non-owner) will make you financially liable for all unauthorized access, losses or misuse of the account, until reported to Vantria Federal Credit Union.
Contact Vantria Federal Credit Union at once if you believe your account number/Member Number, Password, or any record thereof, has been lost or stolen, or if your account has been accessed without your authority. Calling 703-913-0700 or 1-800-657-9359 is the most efficient way of contacting us. You may also notify the credit union by mail at P.O. Box 5098, Springfield, Virginia, 22150 or via the Internet by sending your e-mail to vantria@vantria.org. You could lose all the funds in your accounts if you do not notify us within two (2) business days of the loss, theft, or unauthorized access. You can lose no more than $50 if someone accesses your account without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the unauthorized access, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from accessing your account without your permission if you had contacted the credit union, you could lose as much as $500.
If your statement shows any electronic funds transfer you did not make or authorize to be made, notify us within 60 days after the statement was mailed, or you may not recover your loss.

Information to Third Parties
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions you make:
- If we return checks drawn on your account for insufficient funds or if we are unable to complete an electronic transfer because of insufficient funds
- Where it is necessary for completing transfers

In Case of Errors or Questions about Your Electronic Transfers
If you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement, immediately contact us at 703-913-0700 or 1-800-657-9359, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. eastern standard time; send e-mail to vantria@vantria.org; or write the credit union at P.O.

- Tell us your name and account number
- Describe the error or the transaction you are unsure about, including the transaction confirmation number if possible, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error
If you tell us verbally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 calendar days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will recredit your account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the funds during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not recredit your account.
If we decide there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within three (3) business days after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of the documents we used in our investigation.
