Security/Notices

USA Patriot Act

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal

law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information on personal

accounts which identities each person who opens an account.  In addition, on legal entity accounts

we will require identification on beneficial owners and controlling person.

 

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date

of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you.  We may also ask to see your

driver’s license or other identifying documents.

 

Identity Theft
What is Identity Theft?
Open

Identity theft affects more than 8 million US households annually. Identity theft is defined as the unauthorized use or attempted misuse of an existing credit card or other existing account, the misuse of personal information to open a new account or for another fraudulent purpose, or a combination of these types of misuse.

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personally identifying information, like your name, Social Security number, debit card number or online banking credentials, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.

How do thieves steal an identity?
Open

There are a variety of ways for identity thieves to get your information. Some of these are:

  • Dumpster Diving. They rummage through trash looking for bills or other paper with your personal information on it.
  • They steal credit/debit card numbers by using a special storage device when processing your card.
  • They pretend to be financial institutions or companies and send spam or pop-up messages to get you to reveal personal information.
  • Changing Your Address. They divert your billing statements by completing a change of address form.
  • Old-Fashioned Stealing. They steal wallets and purses; mail; new checks; pre-approved credit card offers; and personnel records.
  • Social Engineering. They use false pretenses to obtain your personal information from financial institutions, telephone companies and other sources.
What to do?
Open

Consumers should monitor their accounts and bank statements each month, and check their credit reports on a regular basis. Any lost debit/credit cards, checks, bank statements or internet banking login credentials should be reported to the consumer’s bank immediately.
