We've shared some techniques fraudsters use to obtain passwords and personal information under our fraud prevention topic here. Once fraudsters have access to online banking accounts, they will attempt to transfer money out of them. Time spent recovering stolen funds, completing fraud forms, and changing account numbers leaves victims feeling vulnerable and understandably frustrated.
We now offer an extra layer of security for your online banking account. Turn on Two-Factor Authentication and receive a passcode alert for each time a log in attempt is made on your Online Banking account. When you begin to log in, you will simply select how you want your passcode delivered: text, phone call, or email, and then will enter in the 6-digit passcode, unique to your logon session, once it is received.
