VISA Security Features

Personalize Your PIN
Idahy's Visa Credit & Debit cards have a feature that allows you to choose your own personal identification number (PIN). To select your own PIN for your Idahy Credit Card, call the toll free number at 1-866-297-3408 and follow the directions. You will need your current PIN and credit card handy in order to change to a new PIN.

To select your own PIN for your Idahy Debit Card, you have two options:

  • Contact Idahy's Boise office to assist you. After verification of your identity is completed, your PIN can be changed immediately.
  • Call 1-888-467-7001 and follow the same procedure as with the credit card. You will need your card and current PIN to change to a new PIN.

If you do not know our current PIN, call Idahy's Boise office and we will be happy to assist you. Please call if you have any questions regarding your Idahy Visa Credit or Debit cards.


Verified by VISA

Idahy is always pursuing ways to help members protect their accounts from fraud. The newest fraud prevention program for VISA cards is called Verified by Visa. If you have an Idahy VISA Credit or Debit Card, you will be required to enroll in the Verified by Visa program prior to completing an online purchase using your Idahy VISA card. The program assists you in creating a password that protects you when you buy online. With Verified by Visa you get added safety, and the reassurance that only you can use your Visa Card online. Once Verified by Visa is activated, your VISA card will be recognized when you purchase at participating online stores. The Verified by Visa symbol will be displayed by participating online stores. You will be prompted to enter your password online, your identity will be verified, and the transaction completed. In online stores that are not yet participating, your Visa Card will continue to work as usual. Registering your card takes just a few minutes. If you have more than one Visa card you'll need to register each card separately.

Once registered, your Verified by Visa password will only be required if you make purchases online. NEVER give your password to someone over the telephone — it is only valid for online purchases. View 'Terms of Agreement for Verified by Visa'.

The credit and debit cards have different registration sites. To register your Idahy card(s) select the appropriate option below:

Register Visa Debit Card
 
Register Visa Credit Card

Security Measures Taken For Idahy Visa Card Holders
If you receive your new Idahy Visa debit or credit card you will now have to call in verification to activate your card. On the front of your card you will see a sticker with an (800) number that you will need to call to activate your card that verifies the card was sent to you. Enter the information from the voice activated dialog using your telephone touch-tone key pad. After you have completed the short security process your card will be ready to use.

In an attempt to cut down on fraud losses, many merchants now require all purchases be sent to the same address as the credit card billing address. Therefore, it is even more important now for you to update your address for your accounts at Idahy. Keeping your address current on all of your debit and credit card accounts will help prevent a delay or denial of future purchase using your debit or credit cards.

Remember, all of the security measures taken are for your protection as a member of Idahy. If you have any questions please contact Idahy.
