PCS & Deployment Financial Checklist

A military-focused checklist for account access, payments, contact information, fraud prevention, and document readiness.

Prepare your finances before orders change your routine.

PCS moves and deployments can affect addresses, account access, automatic payments, cards, and communication. Review these items early.

Update contact information

Review your mailing address, email, telephone number, and preferred contact method before moving or deploying.

Check automatic payments

List recurring transfers, loan payments, insurance, subscriptions, and other obligations. Confirm they will continue from the correct account.

Prepare cards and access

Confirm cards are valid, online access works, and trusted contact methods are current. Ask whether travel notices are appropriate.

Travel guide

Protect against military-targeted scams

Be cautious with housing deposits, vehicle sales, romance scams, government impersonation, emergency requests, and account “verification” messages.

Fraud Awareness

Powers of attorney and account authority

If another person may need to act for you, contact LNFCU in advance about acceptable documents and account-specific requirements.

Store documents securely

Use the Secure Document Center if LNFCU requests identification, orders, income records, or other sensitive documents.

Plan for connectivity: know how you will access accounts if your normal phone number, device, or internet connection is temporarily unavailable.
