New Security Feature Added to Protect Your Account

15 June 2026

New Security Feature Added to Protect Your Account

A new measure is now in place when adding a payee to help keep your account safe.

When you add a new payee, there is a temporary €1,000 daily limit for the first 48 hours. This is a combined limit across all new payees, helping to reduce the risk of fraudulent activity.

After 48 hours, your normal payment limits will apply.

Tip: If you need to make a larger payment, try adding the payee at least 48 hours in advance.

If you need help, our team is always here to support you. Contact us by by phone on 094 9022969, email us at payments@fccu.ie or call in to any First Choice Credit Union office.
