Blocked Vendors & Areas

  • Overview

    Blocked Vendors and Areas

    Here at Spirit of Alaska Federal Credit Union, we take your financial security seriously, which is why we monitor fraud activity coming into the credit union very closely.

    We respond promptly to a fraud threat, and block transactions occurring through problem vendors and in affected areas. Such action protects the credit union, our members, and limits damages from fraud.

     

    Transaction Restrictions

    Every country outside the U.S. and Canada has all transactions restricted.

    The Continental US and Hawaii (does not include Alaska):

    • NO non-chip or non-keyed card transactions at Target or Walmart

    Canada:

    • NO non-chip or non-keyed card transactions at Target or Walmart

    Please be aware these blocks also include websites maintained/operated out of the mentioned locations below, so it is possible to have declined transactions on your Spirit of Alaska debit or credit card while shopping online. Many commonly used vendors have been added as exceptions. Thank you for your patience as we seek to reduce fraudulent transactions here at the credit union.
