For the safety of BrightStar members and employees, we have established a “No Hats, No Hoods, No Sunglasses” program in our branch lobbies. Anything that might obscure a person's identity can serve as an effective disguise and a deterrent to catching criminals.

BrightStar is among thousands of financial institutions nationwide who have implemented this program due to the rising number of bank robberies. You can help us deter crime and improve member and employee safety by simply removing the accessories mentioned when you visit us. It’s that simple.

This program is one more layer of protection for Credit Union Members and employees and has worked in other states because potential robbers are more easily identified when their heads or faces are not covered. By requiring headgear and sunglasses to be removed, the usefulness of surveillance photographs is greatly increased.

We want to do everything we can to make your Credit Union safe. So, hats off to you for working together to help us take a bite out of crime.

Thank you for your cooperation!
