Shared Branch transactions are now easier and more secure than ever!
If you use an out-of-state ID when banking at a Shared Branch, you’ll now verify your identity through IDCheck — a quick, secure process using a QR code and one-time passcode multi-factor authentication. This additional layer of security ensures it’s really YOU accessing your account — not an imposter.
How It Works:
When you visit a Shared Branch location and are using an out-of-state ID for your transaction, IDCheck will be required to verify your identity quickly and securely.
Follow these simple steps:
-
Scan the QR code located in the branch or visit verify.coop.org.
-
Select Harris County Federal Credit Union from the list.
-
Enter your member number and the last four digits of your Social Security number.
-
Upload a photo of your government-issued ID.
-
Take a quick selfie. (Tip: Save your validation for an even faster experience next time!)
-
Show your one-time passcode to the teller (passcode is valid for 20 minutes).
This easy, secure process adds an important layer of protection to your account — without slowing you down.
