Important Notice About Customer Information
Aspen Federal Credit Union values the trust and confidence you have placed in us as your financial institution. We believe every member's personal information should be handled with care. To ensure that we live up to your trust, we have defined the procedures we will use to protect customer information, even to the point of written agreements with our service providers or vendors that they are not to use this information except for our behalf. We want you to understand how we obtain and use information about our members, but most of all to let you know we value our relationship with you. We will not disclose your nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated parties, except as permitted by law.

- Information about your transactions with us
- Information we obtain from a consumer reporting agency
Our Security Procedures That Protect Customer Information
We protect our member's privacy by restricting access to personal and account information to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information. Examples of nonpublic personal information we obtain in providing a financial product or service to you would be your account balance, credit history, overdraft history, and a financial statement.
