The beginning of the year is a time of resolutions and renewal. Even if you're not the kind of person who hits the gym with renewed vigor come January, getting those post-holiday credit card statements can get your heart racing. That's why the beginning of the year is a great time to check in on your financial standing, make sure you weren't the victim of holiday fraud and ensure that your credit is in good shape.
There's no time like the present to get a copy of your credit report and go over it with a fine-toothed comb. It'll help you keep on top of your finances, let you know if you should refinance your debt at a lower interest rate and give you an idea of how to use your upcoming tax refund (if you're getting one) this year.
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.
