Freeze an Account with Comment

These steps explain how to freeze an account and add a comment for other employees to view.

  • The comment will appear in the Member Account Comments and Verify Member pop-ups when an account is accessed via Phone Operator, Inquiry, or Teller Processing.

  • While you're attempting to freeze an account, if you notice that the account is already frozen due to delinquency monitoring, a separate screen will appear. Follow credit union policies. Learn More.
