UNC is Helping You Keep Your Identity Safe

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s new regulation “Identity Theft Red Flags”, UNC, as a financial institution, will be implementing a “Red Flag” notification system in URSA. This rule requires financial institutions and creditors to develop and implement written “identity theft prevention programs”. The purpose of the URSA notification is to alert any UNC student or employee immediately after any of their personal information is changed; personal information such as; address, phone number, or bank account. This is to ensure that you are informed of any and all changes made to your personal information and to help protect your identity. This system is similar to what banks use to notify you if any information has changed from their database; they will send you a notification via email immediately following. The concept is the same, except the notification will come through your URSA home tab instead. This application will go live August 1^st.
