Please Think Before You Post

EECU’s social media community is public, which means that anyone can see the content you post. The content may even appear in search engine results. Caution should be used in posting content to any social media community. Before publishing content to EECU’s social media community, please ask yourself, at a minimum, the following questions:

  • Is the content of this post discourteous or disrespectful to other community participants
  • Is the content of this post inappropriate, threatening, harassing, derogatory, hateful, indecent, profane, obscene, defamatory or otherwise disruptive in nature?
  • Is the content of this post fraudulent, misleading or unlawful?
  • Is the content of this post copyright protected by, or the original content of, a third party?
  • Does this post contain any personal, identifying or confidential information?

If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” you should refrain from publishing your post. NEVER POST PERSONAL, IDENTIFYING OR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION TO EECU’S SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNITY. If you are an EECU member with a specific question about an EECU account or financial service, please log into EECU’s online banking service, call (817) 882-0800 or visit one of our branches to speak with a representative in person.
