Why am I seeing a “High-risk transfer” warning?

Through our commitment to the Scam Safe Accord, BCU Bank has added a new feature to our Internet Banking and mobile banking app to flag high-risk payments.

The high-risk transfer warning is designed to protect customers from loss through scams and fraud and applies to any payment that exceeds a certain limit set by the bank.

You will see a warning to check the payee details carefully and ensure they are correct when making any of the following payments over the secure transaction limit:

  • Paying somebody new
  • Paying an existing payee
  • Making a BPAY payment
  • Creating new scheduled transfers
  • Making an international payment
