Shared Branch IDCheck Protects Against Fraud
To help protect members from account takeover fraud, the Shared Branch Network is introducing a new ID proofing measure for in-person visits. This added step ensures it’s really you trying to access your account — not an imposter.
Who this Affects:
- TAPCO Members who use a Shared Branch services in a state other than where their ID is issued.
- Non-TAPCO Members visiting a TAPCO Branch to access Shared Branch services with an out-of-state (non-Washington) ID.
If you bank at a Shared Branch location throughout the United States, a teller can now identify and authenticate members with out-of-state IDs in the branch through a QR code and one-time passcode multi-factor authentication verification. This additional layer of authentication - called IDCheck - will be used for Shared Branch withdrawal transactions.
How it Works:
- Scan the QR code located in the branch or visit verify.coop.org.
- Select your credit union’s name from a drop-down list.
- Enter your member number and the last four digits of your social security number.
- Upload a photo of your ID.
- Take a selfie.
- Show your one-time passcode to the teller (passcode is valid for 20 minutes).
Tip: Save your validation for an even quicker experience next time!
