Woodmen Federal Credit Union is now issuing EMV security chip cards. EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard, and Visa. EMV chip cards are more secure than magnetic strip cards. Unlike magnetic stripe cards, when you use an EMV card, the card chip creates a unique transaction code that cannot be used again. It is a one-time approval code that is only applicable to that transaction and cannot be duplicated for fraudulent purposes. The Credit Union is currently issuing Visa security chip cards as they renew. If you would like to accelerate the reissue of your Visa credit or Visa debit card please contact the Credit Union.

Did you know the Federal Credit Union Act, the law that allows the establishment of all federal credit unions, has direct connections to Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society? The original bill was written by Morris Sheppard, a United States Senator from Texas and the Treasurer for Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society. Senator Sheppard not only wrote the bill, but he also championed it to unanimous consent in the United States Senate. Upon the signing of the Federal Credit Union Act into law by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1934, Senator Sheppard immediately chartered two federal credit unions. The very first federal charter was issued to the Morris Sheppard Texarkana Federal Credit Union in Senator Sheppard’s home town and charter #16 was issued to the Morris Sheppard W. O. W. Federal Credit Union. In 1990, the charter was amended to include all Woodmen Tower employees and their relatives and the name was changed to Woodmen Federal Credit Union as it is known today. Woodmen Federal Credit Union is proud of our history with Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society and appreciates their sponsorship.
