Visa Secure and Visa Account Updater

Visa Secure
Visa Secure (formerly Verified by Visa) simply means you get access to an added layer of protection, keeping your money safer while you are shopping online. When making a purchase from a merchant participating in Visa Secure, you may be guided through an extra step to confirm your identity. No need to do anything on your part other than follow the prompts. Visa Secure does the work to ensure it’s an authorized transaction.

Visa Account Updater
Visa Account Updater (VAU) automatically sends cardholder data to participant merchants when the card information is updated. It offers a seamless account update process without the need for direct action on your part. For example, if your phone bill automatically charges to your credit card every month, without the VAU, you would need to update your card info yourself in the event of a new card. With VAU, Visa will send the updated card info to that merchant for you. 

If you do not wish to have your card information automatically sent to participant merchants in the event of a new card, you can opt out by calling 800.347.9222.

Please note: you must opt out before your old card has expired, or within 24 hours of ordering a new card when the old card is lost or stolen.

Common questions about credit cards

 

Visa Purchase Alerts is an easy-to-use tool that helps members track spending and identify fraudulent activity early. Customize your alerts by choosing which debit or credit card transactions should trigger a notification and receive near real-time updates via text or email.

It only takes three steps to enroll in Visa Purchase Alerts:

1. Check to see if your Visa account is eligible.

2. Register your mobile device and/or email to receive Visa Purchase Alerts.

3. Choose the notification triggers that match your needs, such as transactions exceeding a set amount and online or international purchases being made.

Visa has developed a program that helps confirm your identity when you make an online purchase. This service helps make shopping online more secure by protecting against unauthorized use of your Visa card. There’s no need to download anything, install software, or register for an account. During an online purchase from your desktop, mobile or other digital device, you may be guided through an extra check to verify your identity. This helps us ensure you’re you and better protects you from fraud.

This service automatically works at checkout at participating merchants. There is no need to download anything, install software or register for your account to get this added layer of protection. When using this service, you may occasionally be prompted at checkout to verify your identity, but this is to ensure you’re you and protect you from fraud.

There is no cost to you for this service! Solarity covers the cost on your behalf to ensure you have this added protection and peace of mind.

On November 5, 2024, Solarity Credit Union gave a huge boost to the YWCA Yakima capital campaign. Solarity’s $200,000 donation was matched by a 3-to-1 grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB Des Moines) for a total combined contribution of $800,000.

On November 5, 2024, Solarity Credit Union gave a huge boost to the YWCA Yakima capital campaign. Solarity’s $200,000 donation was matched by a 3-to-1 grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB Des Moines) for a total combined contribution of $800,000.

YWCA Yakima is the largest provider of domestic violence services in Yakima County and operates the only emergency shelter in the city. In 2023, they assisted 14,000 individuals yet had to turn away more than 1,000 families due to limited capacity. The donated funds will be used to triple the capacity of the shelter by expanding into the historic St. Elizabeth Nursing School building.

Mina Worthington, President and CEO of Solarity, shared her excitement: “We are thrilled to support this critical campaign, dedicated to creating a safe haven for women and families affected by domestic violence in our community. At Solarity, we are committed to making the Yakima Valley a better place to live.”

Initially, Solarity had pledged $100,000 to the YWCA’s capital campaign, and the sizeable increase of the donation came as a surprise to Cheri Kilty, YWCA Yakima’s CEO.  “This donation goes above and beyond what we could have ever anticipated,” explained Kilty. “Its impact on our community and YWCA’s mission cannot be overstated. Not only does it allow us to break ground sooner, but it has also helped us achieve our local capital campaign goal. Solarity has been an unwavering supporter of the YWCA for years, and we are incredibly grateful to be one of their community partners.”

“We are honored to partner with Solarity and award this grant,” said Eric Jensen, Senior Relationship Manager of FHLB Des Moines, who attended the check presentation in Yakima. “Solarity’s commitment to their community has been truly inspiring; their foresight in applying for our 3-to-1 matching grant speaks volumes about their dedication to making a lasting impact in their community.”

Solarity is proud to support YWCA as a community partner throughout the year with employee payroll donations and through annual donation drives. Please read Solarity’s full 2023 year-in-review impact report here
