Important Information About Your Privacy

The Facts

Why?
Financial companies choose how they share your information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some, but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.

What?
The types of personal information that we collect and share depend on the product or service that you have with us. This information can include: (1) name and address; (2) Social Security number and income; (3) types of accounts that you have with us; (4) account balances and payment history; and (5) credit history.

How?
All credit unions need to share members’ personal information to run their everyday business – to process transactions, maintain accounts, and report to credit bureaus.

Below, we list the reasons that Market USA chooses to share and whether or not you can limit this sharing.

  • For everyday purposes – to process your transactions, maintain your accounts and report to credit bureaus.
  •  For our marketing purposes – to offer our products and services to you.
  • For joint marketing with other financial companies. We partner with non-affiliated financial companies to assist in offering and marketing various products on our behalf.

Why can’t I opt-out of all sharing?
