Is Your Account Active?
Perform a Deposit or Withdrawal Today
Don’t let your UARK FCU account go “dormant!” A UARK account is considered dormant if there is no activity (deposit or withdrawal) for 12 months or longer.
It’s easy to activate your account – just perform a deposit or withdrawal.
While every state is different with regards to an account being deemed reportable, the State of Arkansas mandates that if an account meets the state's dormant account criteria, it must be reported as unclaimed funds or escheated.
Please visit the State of Arkansas Unclaimed Property website at www.ark.org for more details on dormant and escheat account information. The Division of Unclaimed Funds requires all banks, credit unions, insurance companies and other financial institutions to send them all funds in accounts deemed dormant.
UARK FCU is beginning the annual review process of inactive and dormant accounts. Members with dormant or abandoned accounts will receive notification letters with instructions on how to re-establish their accounts to active status.

Newest Pandemic Scam: Fake Vaccination Cards
As vaccination efforts continue to ramp up, scammers have found a new way to keep the COVID-fueled fraud wave going: counterfeit vaccine cards. Online advertisements for fake vaccination cards are popping up all over sites like eBay and Etsy, ranging in price from $20 to $60. Demand for fake vaccination cards may rise as more organizations require proof of vaccination to do things like travel on an airplane or attend events.
In addition to fake vaccination cards, scammers are doubling their efforts to peddle fake vaccine appointments in order to defraud people out of money and steal their identity.
Here are some tips on avoiding COVID-19 scams:

Don’t pay for the COVID-19 vaccine or to book an appointment. Neither is necessary, regardless of your health insurance status.
Do not share personal health information with people you don’t know. Legitimate vaccination locations will not ask for things like your bank account, credit card information or Social Security number.
Don’t share fully legible images of your vaccine card on social media. Showing sensitive information opens the door for fraudsters to steal your identity.
