Identify if the transaction is unauthorised (fraud) or a dispute.
Fraud - You didn't participate in the transaction in any way. Your card details have been stolen by a fraudster for financial gain.
Dispute - You participated in the transaction, but perhaps something has gone wrong.
- Goods or services were not provided
- Duplicated transaction
- Incorrect amount charged
- A recurring transaction you've already cancelled has debited again
Don't recognise a transaction?
Here are a few things to think about what it might be before giving us a call:
- Is the transaction a regular membership, subscription fee or app download?
- Was the transaction a preauthorisation?
- Was the transaction a free trial that has expired?
- Was the purchase made by a family member or another authorised member?
- Was the transaction purchased in a foreign currency and converted to AUD?

Operated by trained fraud specialists, the Fraud Bureau Service provides our members with 24/7 protection against fraudulent transactions all year round.
- The fraud department will never attempt to confirm the primary account number (PAN) of a member’s card during an outbound call to a member.
- A genuine call from the fraud department will only ever ask to confirm the last 4 digits of the card.
- Although the fraud department require limited member information to confirm high risk transactions, the fraud department will always encourage a member to contact the Fire Service Credit Union on 08 8227 2222, if they are ever unsure or uncomfortable with the legitimacy of the call.
