We are seeing an increase in fraud attempts targeting bank customers. These scams are becoming more sophisticated and often appear urgent or convincing. Please take a moment to review the most common red flags.

Be on high alert if you encounter any of the following:

  • Unexpected prize or sweepstakes claims (such as Publishers Clearing House) asking for fees, taxes, or gift cards to “release” winnings
  • Romance or relationship scams where someone you’ve met online asks for money, gift cards, or financial assistance
  • Impostors claiming to be bank employees, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, or other companies asking for your passwords, login codes, or personal information
  • Pressure tactics urging you to act immediately, keep the request secret, or bypass normal processes
  • Requests for payment via gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or peer-to-peer apps

Important reminders:

  • We will never ask for your online banking password, one-time passcodes, or full debit card information
  • Legitimate companies do not demand payment through gift cards or crypto
  • If something feels off, it probably is

If you receive a suspicious call, email, or message, or if you are unsure, stop and contact us directly using the phone number on the back of your debit card or our official website. Your vigilance is one of the strongest tools against fraud.
