Social Media Channel Policies

We love interacting and sharing with you on our social media channels. However, because banking is a highly regulated industry, we have to follow certain rules and guidelines for our online communities.

Facebook:

Our Facebook page is public, which means that anyone can see your posts on Facebook, and your posts may even show up in search engine results. While we want to foster healthy discussion, we may occasionally remove posts that don't fit our community guidelines.

Because our Facebook page is a public page and anyone can participate, we cannot be responsible for views expressed other than our own.

Please note that Wellby team members moderate this page. We'll make every effort to respond in a timely manner; however, we can't guarantee that we'll reply to every comment.

Twitter:

Our Twitter page is public, which means that anyone can see our tweets. Unless you protect your tweets (something you can do in your Twitter account settings), anyone can see your tweets, and your tweets may even show up in search engine results.

Because our Twitter handles are public and anyone with a Twitter account can engage with us, we cannot be responsible for views expressed other than our own.

Please note that we may unfollow a user who dramatically changes their mission and objectives or who we feel violates our community policy.

YouTube:

We publish video content to our YouTube channel. We encourage you to subscribe to our channel, share the videos and embed them in your sites. Please note that we often include additional context and information in the descriptions for the videos, which often lead to our Wellby websites that you might find helpful.

All videos hosted by YouTube are governed by YouTube's privacy policy and terms of service. These policies apply to your use of YouTube.

Instagram:

Connect with us on Instagram to see beautiful photos and videos about people making their financial lives better—view and engage with Wellby images and videos.

LinkedIn:

You can learn about our organization and career opportunities on our LinkedIn Company Page.

We encourage you to visit our company page today to see how we’re connected and follow us for career news and official information about Wellby.

Our company LinkedIn pages are public, which means that anyone can see your comments, and they may even show up in search engine results. While we want to foster healthy discussion, we may occasionally remove comments that don't fit our company’s community guidelines.

Because our company’s LinkedIn pages are public pages and anyone can participate, we cannot be responsible for views expressed other than our own.

We encourage everyone to:

  • Stay on topic, use common courtesy and be respectful of others
  • Submit or Tweet your own original content, and avoid content that you know to be fraudulent
  • Do not post or tweet someone else's copyrighted work unless you have permission
  • Never post or tweet personal, identifying, or confidential information

Customer Service Inquiries

Facebook Messenger enables you to communicate privately with Wellby. These communications are not visible to anyone else on Facebook. Please be aware that Wellby will never ask you for confidential or private information on Facebook. If we require additional information, you will be contacted offline, and it will only be in response to a question you have submitted to us.
You may also receive assistance with banking and personal accounts through our other channels:

Wellby has a presence in various social media channels and may occasionally identify and respond to members seeking assistance with banking-related issues. In the event a member receives such a communication from the credit union regarding a service request or other need, the member may be offered other Wellby channels to help address those concerns as smoothly and effectively as possible.

Those are the basics. Our full policies are listed below.

For the benefit of healthy discussion, we ask that comments remain on topic. This means that comments should relate to the topic that is being discussed within that post or tweet. While we welcome reasonable critiques, we may delete negative comments about Wellby and/or our competitors that aren't relevant and don't add to the overall experience.

We may delete comments that we deem to be off-topic, including solicitations. In addition, we may remove identical posts by the same user or multiple users (a group of people sending identical messages or one person submitting under different aliases). In the case of identical posts, we will leave the first submission and delete the duplicates.
