Artificial intelligence is changing the way scams look, but protecting your accounts still starts with awareness. 🕵️

From phishing emails and fake websites to cloned voices and realistic videos, scammers are using AI to make fraud attempts look more legitimate than ever.

🔒 Before sharing personal information, account details, passwords, or sending money, take a moment to verify the request through a trusted source. If something seems unusual, contact Dakota West Credit Union directly or visit your local branch.

Your financial security is important to us. As technology evolves, staying informed is one of the best ways to protect yourself from fraud.

Washburn Branch Update 📢

A planned power outage is scheduled in the Washburn area on October 23.

The good news? We currently do not anticipate being affected and plan to remain open during regular business hours.

If the outage unexpectedly impacts our ability to serve members, we may need to temporarily close until power is restored. Should that happen, we'll keep everyone updated on our page.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to serving you as usual! 💙

🎉 We had a blast celebrating Homecoming with our community. Thanks to everyone who came out and shared in the fun!

Homecoming spirit was out in full force on Main Street!
A big shout-out to EDC board member Brian Smiset of Dakota West Credit Union for rolling through this year's homecoming parade and tossing out a whole lot of smiles along the way.
Moments like these are what make Watford City home: local businesses and neighbors showing up for our students, our families, and each other. Thank you, Brian and the Dakota West team, for being such great community partners!
