MCUL Releases New Cybersecurity Videos for Credit Unions to Share with Members

The Michigan Credit Union League (MCUL) has released a new collection of cybersecurity awareness videos through its statewide Try a Credit Union campaign, giving credit unions free, ready-to-use resources to help educate members and communities about fraud prevention and protecting personal information.

The videos are part of Protect What Matters, a consumer education initiative launched during Cybersecurity Awareness Month to help Michigan residents recognize scams and safeguard their financial information.

The new resources include downloadable short-form videos designed for social media, covering topics such as recognizing scams, using strong passwords, enabling multifactor authentication and knowing what to do when something seems suspicious.

“Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, more aggressive and more convincing, making it increasingly important for consumers to know what to look for and how to protect themselves,” said MCUL President/CEO Patty Corkery. “Through Protect What Matters, we're giving credit unions practical, ready-to-use resources to help educate their members and communities so more people can recognize the warning signs and avoid falling for scams”

The videos are also being featured as part of a broader statewide advertising effort, with Protect What Matters messaging reaching consumers through social media, streaming audio and digital advertising. By making these resources available for download, MCUL is giving credit unions an opportunity to extend that reach through their own communications.

In addition to the videos, MCUL has made a collection of downloadable social media graphics available, featuring cybersecurity reminders and fraud prevention tips. Credit unions can incorporate both the videos and graphics into their existing member communications.
