This April We're Celebrating National Credit Union Youth Month

Every April, National Credit Union Youth Month serves to encourage kids to develop healthy savings habits by making saving fun, exciting and educational.

The theme for this year’s Youth Month is “Be a Credit Union Saver & Your Savings Will Never Go Extinct”. Together, we’re encouraging our youngest members to learn common financial concepts kids should understand: Saving, Spending, Charitable giving, Investing, and Budgeting.

National Credit Union Youth Month is a great way to begin empowering your child to save for their future! Join us this April as credit unions across the country focus on educating youth about financial health.

Making the Community Better. Together.

Hickam FCU Provides Free Tax Preparation For Those in Need.

Hickam Federal Credit Union is proud to serve, not only our members, but those in the community as well. For the past 14 years, Hickam FCU has participated in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and provided free income tax preparation service to low-income individuals, individuals with disabilities, and the elderly.

From February thru April, Hickam FCU staff volunteers prepared tax returns, at the Pearl City Branch. The VITA tax preparation program aids those who might otherwise not have had access to reliable or affordable tax preparation service or taken advantage of eligible tax credits.

 Avoid Stimulus Payment Scams

As a third round of stimulus payments goes out to eligible individuals and families, scammers are looking to take advantage of those in financial need. With hundreds of millions of dollars being lost to fraud, avoiding falling for a stimulus payment scam is important.

As with the previous stimulus payments, scammers are looking to take advantage of those who are already in dire need. Remember, stay vigilant and be aware of the tactics used by scammers to avoid becoming a victim.

Unsolicited Phone Calls or Messages
If you get a phone call, voicemail or email message from someone claiming they are with the Internal Revenue Service, use the contact information from the IRS official website to verify the legitimacy of the call or message. Additionally, do not click on any links sent to you via social media, text message or email. The Federal Trade Commission notes that the IRS will not call, text, email or contact you on social media to ask for personal information such as your Social Security Number, credit card information or bank account number.

Threats of Penalty
If you receive a phone call and the person claims you will lose your payment or suffer a financial loss if you don't take immediate action and provide your personal information, that is a scam. If anyone asks for information such as your Social Security Number, credit card information or bank account number, you should hang up. If the threat is via email or text message, do not respond and delete the message immediately. The key is to not take any immediate action. Scammers are trying to trigger a quick emotional response to get you to act before thinking things through.

Offer to Get Your Payment Faster
If someone contacts you claiming they can get you your stimulus money faster or that they can expedite payment via wife transfer, cash apps, prepaid debit card or a gift card for an upfront fee, that is a scam. The IRS does not offer expedited stimulus payments.
