Please do not give any account/personal information to anyone calling from any organization. The scammers may identify themselves from what may sound like a reputable institution. We fear they are trying to receive account information in hopes that you will send money to them. Please do not fall prey to this scam.

Do not be a victim of phone fraud, internet fraud or other means the criminal may use.  If you receive this type of call, hang up and notify us immediately.

Your share account at Chiphone is insured up to $250,000 through the NCUSIF (National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund). All Federally insured Credit Unions pay into this fund. Federal Credit Union share accounts are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. The NCUA, a U.S. Government Agency, is the regulator of these funds. This makes this fund the strongest of its type, including the FDIC.
