SECURITY AND FRAUD AWARENESS
Protect your money and personal info.
Fraud and scams are constantly evolving, but one thing remains the same: scammers try to get you to act before you have time to think. Whether a request comes by phone, email, text message, social media, or mail, taking a moment to pause can help protect you from becoming a victim.
Explore these articles and resources to learn how to recognize common scams, protect your information, and bank more safely.
Stop
If you receive an unexpected request for information, money, passwords, account details, or transfers, stop communication before taking action. Do not click links, reply to messages, share information, send money, or approve transactions until you have verified the request.
Verify
Contact the person or organization using trusted contact information you find independently. Never rely on phone numbers, links, or contact information provided in a suspicious message.
If something feels urgent, secretive, or too good to be true, take a step back and verify before taking action.
