As our community, and the world, continue to be impacted by the global spread of COVID-19, we want to assure you that Health Center Credit Union (HCCU) has every intention of continuing to serve your financial needs with exceptional, uninterrupted service. For information on Covid-19 & Your Financial Well-Being visit our recommendations page.
During this rapidly evolving situation, our main priority is the health, safety, and well-being of our staff and member-owners. Masks are appreciated when entering the branch, but you may be asked to temporarily remove your mask for ID Verification and security reasons. Your refusal may result in a denial of services.
We continue to closely monitor the latest reports from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Georgia Department of Public Health, and Augusta University; and are taking necessary steps to serve you safely and securely. We’ve enhanced cleaning at our locations, added hand sanitizing stations, and nanoSeptic surfaces to help keep members and the public in good health.
We ask that you be respectful of the health of your fellow members and staff by taking necessary precautions as well. Please DO NOT ENTER the branch if you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, have tested positive for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), or have been exposed to someone who has.
If you are experiencing symptoms we encourage you to remain at home and take advantage of our online, mobile and audio self-service options. Deposit taking ATMs, night deposit and drive through access is also available.
NOTE: Under Georgia law, there is no liability for an injury or death of an individual entering a Health Center Credit Union location if such injury or death results from the inherent risk of contracting COVID-19. You are assuming this risk by entering the premises.
Masks are appreciated when entering the branch, but you may be asked to temporarily remove your mask for ID Verification and security reasons. Your refusal may result in a denial of services.

Fraudsters take advantage of opportunities in times of fear and uncertainty. Visit the FTC website to stay on top of current Coronavirus scams.
Early indications are that fraudsters may be increasing phishing attacks in an effort to exploit the current COVID-19 pandemic. Our Risk Office has observed fraudster emails and voice mails sent directly to cardholders asking for personally identifiable information (PII) and impersonating the credit unioin, health groups, and federal government agencies.
Additionally, criminals in possession of card details and other forms of PII are spoofing the phone number from financial institutions to fool cardholders into thinking that text messages and phone calls are actually from the fraud department of your financial institution.
It makes a difference when you remain vigilant. If something sounds suspicious, question it. It’s important that you remain diligent in reviewing your accounts daily and quickly reporting any unauthorized activity.
There is a lot you can do to protect your financial accounts and information in order to avoid compromising your own information. Here are a few things to look for when determining if a message or text is legitimate and from your financial institution, or if it may be a phishing attack:
- Neither HCCU nor the fraud department will ever ask you over the phone for your PIN, CV2 codes or Expiration Dates.
- A text alert warning of suspicious activity on a card will NEVER include:
- A link to be clicked. You should never click on a link in a text message that is supposedly from HCCU.
- Vague reference to a “Merchant” transaction; details should be included
- Requests for data such as card numbers, PINs, CV2 Codes, Expiration Date
- A text alert from us will always be from a 5-digit number and NOT a 10-digit number resembling a phone number.
- A valid notification will provide information about the suspect transaction and ask you to reply to the text message with answers such as ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘help’, or ‘stop’.
- A text caller ID will be 20733
- A phone call from one of our Call Center agents will only include a request for your Zip code, and no other personal information, unless you confirm that a transaction is fraudulent.
- Only then will you be transferred to an agent, who will ask questions to confirm your identity before going through the transaction history. If, at any point you are uncertain about questions being asked or the call itself, hang up and call us directly at 706.434.1600.
- If a call is received, claiming to be the HCCU Call Center and asking to verify transactions, no information should have to be provided other than your Zip code, and a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the transactions provided.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us at 706.434.1600 or hccuops@augusta.edu.
