5 Tips for Protecting Your Information and Money

  1. Be Alert. Many phone and email scams try to get you to share personal information. If you did not initiate the call or the email is from an unknown source or seems suspicious do not provide any information.

  2. Safeguard Your Information. Never share account information or passwords. Be sure to log out after each use. Create strong passwords and change them periodically.

  3. Monitor Your Accounts. Review your bank and credit card statements regularly and request and review your free credit report annually. Set up alerts to notify you of irregular activity.

  4. Protect Your Electronic Devices. Make sure your computer, tablet and phone have up-to-date software and antivirus and malware protection.

  5. Take Action. If you notice any suspicious activity, notify us and any other applicable parties as soon as possible.
