Your Visa Debit Card does more than you know

If you have a TACU debit card, you may know it bears the name of Visa, one of

the major credit card companies. What you may not know is that Visa has a

special protection program available for all its cardholders. This program is

called Verified by Visa.

Verified by Visa is a program that uses identity information and passwords to

confirm the identity of cardholders during online transactions. The system helps

prevent fraudulent purchases. Other benefits include increase in online

transaction volume and value, reduction of fraud losses, and lower operational

costs.

Many prominent merchants consider Verified by Visa the gold standard of

online safety. Are you registered for this free service? If you use your Visa debit

card online, you will want to make sure you take advantage of this added

protection. Go to https://usa.visa.com/personal/security/vbv/

index.jsp to activate the program on your debit card.

Timberwolf Talk Logo revealed and Ribbon Cutting set!

Holiday money when you need it Kwik Cash Loans make it Happen Kwik Cash Loans (aka, open-ended lines of credit) allow you to make holiday

purchases even if you don’t have the cash on hand. These loans give you

needed funds up front in the form of cash, check, or direct deposit.

The interest rate is low and the process is easy. Legal papers are signed only

once and are not necessary for future advances - up to your established limit.

You may request funds at any time by...

Using our Member Access Line.

Stopping into the TACU office.

Logging onto Online or Mobile Banking.

If your request is made at night, the check is mailed the next morning.

Payment = Balance (rounded up to next hundred) x 4

The new “Tito’s TACU” logo (above) was inspired by the artwork of Tia Hewuse,

a student in Mr. Brian Kibby’s Graphic Arts class. This new logo will be used for

promotional items and correspondence for the student branch at Tomah High

School.

TACU also has a ribbon cutting ceremony set for Friday, December 10 at

noon to celebrate the opening of Tito’s TACU. Chamber of Commerce

representatives, THS principal Marlon Mee, and TACU staff will be there. Keep

an eye out in the Tomah Journal for pictures from this prominent event.
