Ultimately, privacy is a partnership. You too can take steps to secure your personal information by following these tips developed by the American Bankers Association:

  • Never give out your Social Security number, Checking Account number or personal credit information over the phone unless you initiate the call.
  • Tear up or shred receipts, bank statements and unused credit card offers.
  • Keep track of your mail. If a statement, check or bill is missing, someone may have changed your billing address. Don’t mail bills from your own mailbox. Drop them in a post box or at the post office.
  • Review your credit annually, and report and correct mistakes.
  • Make sure you do business with reputable companies, especially on the Internet.
  • Keep your browser’s padlock or key icon active when doing business online.
  • Don’t open e-mail from unknown sources.
  • Use virus detection software.
  • Protect your PINs and passwords. Change them often. Use a combination of letters and numbers.
  • Report any suspected fraud to us immediately, and notify the fraud divisions of the three major credit bureaus: Trans Union (800) 916-8800, Experian (800) 301-7195 and Equifax (800) 525-6285.
