Members have told the Daily Liberal they were shocked by the potential exposure to fraud but welcomed the credit union's steps to protect loss of funds.

Credit union member Susan Wade initially feared the worst when an automatic teller machine (ATM) seized her card on Tuesday with the notice that it had been reported lost or stolen.

"I was panicky, I thought someone had cleared us out, that was my biggest fear," she said.

Mrs Wade contacted the credit union and it informed her that her funds were safe, but her card was cancelled as a precaution.

She will have to go into the branch to withdraw funds until her card is reissued.

The incident reinforced in her mind the importance of security, but she wondered if that was enough.

Macquarie Credit Union general manager Matthew Bow yesterday confirmed it had cancelled a number of members' cards.

"Earlier this week Macquarie Credit Union was alerted that a number of our members' cards had been used at a retail outlet which had had their EFTPOS devices compromised," he said.
