Fraud Prevention and Safety Tips

Protect yourself and your account from fraud and identity theft with these simple steps:

Monitor your accounts regularly

Report unauthorized transactions to your financial institution immediately so that we may take the necessary steps to prevent further fraudulent charges.

Keep your contact information up to date

We contact you quickly in the event suspicious activity is detected on your account. Be sure you have notified your financial institution if your contact information has changed to avoid interruption with your account.

Create strong passwords

A strong password is a strong defense against hackers.

Never give out your account information over the phone

We will never contact you and ask you to provide your account #, PIN, or Password! If you receive a call or any sort of notification asking you to provide your account information, contact your financial institution immediately!
