Protect Your Information with Horizon’s Secure Mail

Horizon Credit Union uses a secure messaging system to ensure your personal information is always protected. Messages coming from Horizon that may contain sensitive information are automatically encrypted and routed to our secure messaging platform. 

Encryption protects your email while it’s in transit to ensure your messages will not be intercepted by hackers or spammers. 

This means that, occasionally when you receive an email from a team member of Horizon, you may receive an email asking you to click a link to view your message. This ensures your personal information can be viewed only by you. 

The first time you receive a secure message, you will receive a secondary message with a password. For your protection, you may be required to change that password immediately upon logging in.
