If at any time you think your confidential information has been compromised, please contact us at 800.711.BANK (2265). You can also follow the FTC's Guide for understanding what to do depending on what information the fraudster has, and review ways we can combat fraud together through added debit card security and mobile wallets.

As a reminder, we will never call and ask you for personal information like your debit card PIN. Even if the call appears to be coming from our phone number, 1-800-711-2265, do not provide personal information. If someone calls asking for this information, just hang up.

Fraud Prevention Tips

Regularly update your passwords for any online accounts.	Ensure operating systems and applications are updated to the most current versions.
Be suspicious of unsolicited contact via email or social media from any individual you do not know personally.	Never provide personal information to anyone over the phone unless you initiate the call and you know the company is reputable.
Closely verify the spelling of web addresses, websites, and email addresses that look trustworthy but may be imitations of legitimate websites.	Tear or shred account statements, canceled checks, pre-approved credit card offers or anything else with personal information.
Carry only identification, bank and credit cards that are necessary. Do not write down Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) - memorize them instead.	Keep track of billing cycles and notify the company you are paying immediately if anything questionable appears on your statement or if your bill isn't on time.
Be aware of your surroundings when using ATMs. A wandering eye can quickly pick up your PIN.	Do not write your credit card or driver's license number on your checks.
Provide your Social Security number only when necessary and keep your card in a safe place.	If you want to be sure to protect physical possessions, you can talk with us about opening a safe deposit box.
