Notification of payees:
Should I notify companies that I am set up to pay automatically with my existing VISA and have a new card number?
YES. You will need to notify companies that you are currently paying automatically with your VISA and that you have a new card number so that they can update their records.
How to make a Payment:
Will I still be able to make my VISA payment at the branch?

1. You will be able to send your payment to the address below:

2. Go to the MACU website (https://www.macuonline.org/products-services/creditcards/card-payments), go under Products and Services, then Credit Cards, and make a credit card payment. You can make payments once you add the routing number and account number you wish the Visa payment to come from.

Spoofing is when a caller changes the information on your caller ID display on purpose to hide their identity. They use neighbor spoofing so it appears that an incoming call is coming from a local number, or spoof a number from a company or a government agency that you may already know and trust. If you answer, they try to steal your money or personal information, which can be used in fraudulent activity.
