"Your online banking account password has expired."

Dear Fairwinds Credit Union Member,

Your online banking account password has expired. For security reasons your personal access code needs to get updated. A fundamental element of safeguarding your confidential information is to provide protection against unauthorized access or use of this information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal guidelines to guard your nonpublic personal information against unauthorized access.

At this time we need you to follow the necessary steps needed to update your online banking account password:

https://fairwindsonline.org/Common/ SignOn/Start.asp

You are responsible for your password and agree to keep it confidential at all times. Do not disclose your personal access code to anyone unauthorized to sign on your account.

Our online banking system allows you now to have different passwords for online and phone access. You may wish to choose this option in order to select an alpha-numeric password for your online account. The personal access code for your phone access must be numeric.

Regards,
Fairwinds Credit Union Online Department
