How We Protect You
Fraud Monitoring
Our advanced fraud detection system constantly monitors your transactions for any unusual activity. If we spot something out of the ordinary, we'll alert you immediately, so you can take action quickly.
Real-Time Alerts
Stay in the know with instant notifications about your account activity. Receive text or email alerts whenever there's a large purchase, a new login, or other potentially suspicious behavior.
Multi-Factor Authentication
We utilize state-of-the-art encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and secure login methods to protect your personal information and prevent unauthorized access.
Control Your Cards on Your Terms
Our CardProtect tool allows you to control and monitor your debit and credit cards, giving you the ability to turn your cards on/off at your discretion, add alerts, set spending limits based on location, amount, merchant type or transaction type, and more.
Regularly Clear Your Browser History
Regularly clearing your browsing history helps protect your online security and reduces the risk of cyber threats. By removing stored data like visited websites, cookies, and cached files, you limit what hackers can learn about your online activity - keeping your personal information safer.

What to do if you suspect fraud
- Notify your bank and credit card issuers immediately so they can close your accounts.
- Report the fraud to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.FTC.gov
- Contact the fraud unit of the three credit reporting agencies. Place a fraud alert on your credit report and consider placing a credit freeze so the criminal can’t open new accounts. The fraud unit numbers are:
- Equifax: (866) 349-5191
- Experian: (888) 397-3742
- TransUnion: (800) 680-7289
- File a police report.
- Make sure to maintain a log of all the contacts you make with authorities regarding the matter. Write down names, titles and phone numbers in case you need to contact them again or refer to them in future correspondence.
