At IDB Global Federal Credit Union, we pride ourselves on being available to our members in convenient ways, such as live chat, phone, video, and email.
And now, there is one more! You can connect with us for FREE* from anywhere in the world using WhatsApp!
WhatsApp is a free app that you download to your smartphone to send and receive private, secure texts, phone calls and video calls. You can now use WhatsApp to contact us via the app’s free instant text message service. This means that our international members can contact us using WhatsApp without incurring any charges from wireless phone carriers* or any international calling charges.
Best Practices When Communicating Via WhatsApp and SMS
- Never send account numbers, social security numbers or any sensitive information to the Credit Union via WhatsApp or SMS.
- The Credit Union will never initiate a chat with our members via WhatsApp or SMS. If you are ever contacted via these channels without reaching out first, DO NOT engage and report it to us immediately.
- Save the Credit Union's number in your contacts for WhatsApp and SMS to ensure that the correct number is always used.
- Use WhatsApp and SMS channels for text chatting only; the Credit Union cannot answer calls via that number. If you prefer to call us, please use 202-623-3363.
*Data charges can apply if WhatsApp uses data from your wireless carrier. Free use assumes utilizing an internet connection. **Message and data rates may apply.
