Just like a physical clutter-free space can boost productivity, a well-organized financial life empowers you to make informed decisions and take control of your future. Here's how you can give your financial data a spring cleaning boost:

 

1. Consolidate and Review Your Accounts:

  • Gather all your financial information: Start by compiling a list of all your accounts, including checking, savings, credit cards, loans (student, auto, mortgage), investment accounts, and even rewards programs.

  • Aeroquip Credit Union offers convenient options: Explore options to consolidate your accounts with Aeroquip Credit Union. This simplifies tracking your finances and potentially unlocks better interest rates or lower fees.

  • Analyze your statements: Once you have everything listed, review your statements for any errors, unauthorized transactions, or outdated information.

 

2. Update Your Contact Information Everywhere:

  • Stay connected with important communications: Ensure your contact information (address, phone number, email) is current with all your financial institutions, including Aeroquip Credit Union. This prevents missed statements, important alerts, and potential security issues.

  • Prevent Identity Theft: Outdated contact information can be a gateway for identity thieves. Promptly update your details to maintain control of your accounts.

 

3. Evaluate Your Spending Habits:

  • Track your expenses: Use Aeroquip Credit Union's online and mobile banking tools, or a budgeting app, to track your spending over the past few months. Categorize your expenses to identify areas where you can potentially save.

  • Identify unnecessary subscriptions and recurring payments: Are you paying for services you no longer use? Cancel subscriptions and recurring payments to free up cash flow.

  • Revisit your budget: Based on your spending analysis, adjust your budget to align with your financial goals. Aeroquip Credit Union offers resources and financial counselors to help you create a realistic and effective budget.

 

4. Strengthen Your Online Security:

  • Update your passwords: Change your passwords regularly, especially for your online banking accounts and email addresses. Use strong, unique passwords that are difficult to guess.

  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Whenever possible, enable 2FA for added security. This adds an extra layer of protection, even if your password is compromised. Aeroquip Credit Union emphasizes the importance of 2FA for all online accounts.

  • Be wary of phishing scams: Stay vigilant against phishing emails and phone calls attempting to trick you into revealing your personal information. Never click on suspicious links or provide sensitive data over the phone. Aeroquip Credit Union will never ask for your password or account information via email or phone.

  • Monitor your credit report: Request a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) and review it for any errors or fraudulent activity.

 

5. Shred Unnecessary Documents:

  • Protect your sensitive information: Shred old financial documents, such as bank statements, credit card bills, and tax returns, after the required retention period.

  • Prevent Identity Theft: Properly disposing of these documents prevents identity thieves from accessing your personal information.
