Our team member Maddy recently assisted a 75 year old member who contacted Patelco with concerns about a potentially compromised card linked to Apple Pay. The member was confused and worried, as she still had the physical card in her possession and did not understand how fraud could occur. Maddy took the time to patiently explain how digital wallets like Apple Pay can still be compromised, even when the card is not physically lost. Maddy walked the member through understanding how unauthorized transactions can happen and provided education on steps the member can take to reduce fraud risk moving forward with Apple Pay. By taking a calm, reassuring, and educational approach, Maddy ensured the member felt informed, supported, and more confident in protecting her account. Throughout the interaction, Maddy demonstrated a high level of expertise, diligence, and professionalism. She helped our member safeguarded her account, and efficiently resolved the issue, instilling confidence, and trust at every step of the process. Our member was so pleased with the experience; she left a wonderful compliment for Maddy.
