Lost or stolen credit, ATM and debit cards
- Report lost or stolen cards as quickly as possible to limit your liability for charges you didn’t authorize.
- Once you report the loss of your ATM or debit card, federal law says you cannot be held liable for unauthorized transfers that occur after that time:
- Follow up with a letter or email. Include your account number, the date and time when you noticed your card was missing, and when you first reported the loss.
- Check your card statement carefully for transactions you didn’t make. Report these transactions to the card issuer as quickly as possible. Be sure to send the letter to the address provided for billing errors.
- Check if your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy covers your liability for card thefts. If not, some insurance companies will allow you to change your policy to include this protection.
For new orders of checks please email membersvc@alpsfcu.org or call (907) 747-6261.

Loan Services
GAP protects against unexpected expenses
If your vehicle is stolen or totaled, your insurance will pay only its Fair Market Value; that is, how much you could have sold it for at the time of loss. This may not be enough to cover your remaining loan balance. Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) coverage pays the difference between your insurance settlement and what you still owe You can buy GAP coverage for new AND used autos, trucks, boats, RVs or personal watercraft. It’s available at the time of vehicle purchase only, and the affordable premiums can be included in your loan payment. Ask about GAP when you buy your next new or used vehicle.
Guaranteed Asset Protection may not be purchased after vehicle loan is funded. Can be cancelled within first 90 days for full refund; after that, refund will be pro-rated.
