We are aware of fraudulent text messages notifying Family First members that there has been “a new email address added to your account from an unrecognized IP address”. If you receive a text like this, do not respond. If you respond, you will receive a call from a fraudster posing as a Family First employee. Do not give them any information. If you have received this communication, please contact us at 585.586.8225.

All Family First Branches and the Call Center will be closed on Monday, February 16 for Presidents Day. 

Beginning at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 13, Family First’s mortgage lending software will begin migrating to a new system. This is an internal upgrade and will not affect your mortgage or your payment schedule.

During the migration, any mortgage payments you make will be received and processed as usual. However, payments may not immediately appear in Online Banking or the Mobile App. The upgrade is expected to be completed by Tuesday, February 17, at which time all recent payments will be visible.

Effective immediately, Family First Credit Union will no longer offer the Member to Member Transfer feature within our Online and Mobile Banking platforms. Due to increasing instances of fraud and cybercrime in the Rochester area, we have made this decision to reduce risk and further safeguard our membership from potential scams.

If you rely on this feature to send funds to other Family First members, please contact our Member Services Team to review alternative transfer options that will allow you to maintain the convenience you are accustomed to. You may reach us at 585.586.8225 or by email at [email protected].

We would also like to remind you to remain vigilant regarding scams currently circulating in the Rochester region. Fraudsters have been impersonating Family First employees through phone calls and text messages. Please remember that Family First will never contact you to request personal or account information. However, when you initiate contact with us, we may ask a few verification questions to confirm your identity.

If you receive a call, text, or message that seems suspicious, or if you are ever unsure whether the communication is truly from Family First, please contact us immediately.

We thank you for your understanding and continued trust in Family First Credit Union.
