With more financial activity happening online, scammers are constantly looking for new ways to access personal and financial information—putting your money and peace of mind at risk. The good news is that a few smart habits, combined with the right banking tools, can help protect you from fraud, reduce stress, and keep your accounts secure.

Practice Smart Cybersecurity

Start with the basics:

  • Use strong, unique passwords and never share them.
  • Enable Face ID or biometric login on your device.
  • Keep your devices and apps up to date.
  • Avoid accessing financial accounts on public Wi-Fi. 

These simple cybersecurity steps go a long way toward preventing unauthorized access to your accounts.

Stay Alert to Scams

Scammers are constantly evolving their tactics. Common threats include check fraud schemes, phishing emails or texts, and imposter scams designed to create urgency. Always think twice before sharing personal or financial information, especially if a request feels unexpected or rushed.

Take Advantage of Our Tools

Stay in control and in the know with these powerful banking tools:

  • Card management tools in the mobile app - Turn your cards off and on, set usage limits, and receive alerts for card activity.
  • Account alerts for real-time monitoring - In addition to balance and transaction alerts, you can be notified if someone attempts to change your information or other unusual activity occurs.
  • Online and mobile banking - Access your accounts 24/7 and regularly review activity to spot suspicious transactions early.

No one knows what should be happening in your account better than you. Staying up to date with your activity is one of the most effective ways to prevent fraud, and our tools make it easier.
