MIDFLORIDA Credit Union collects various types of information to provide you with financial products and services, process transactions, and maintain your accounts. This includes information you provide on applications (such as your name, address, Social Security number, and income), information about your transactions with us or others (like account balances and payment history), and information from consumer reporting agencies (such as your creditworthiness and credit history).
