If your financial information is ever compromised or stolen, we provide the information and assistance necessary to help you get your account back on track.

How can I better protect myself and my debit card?

There are several things that you can do to help protect yourself when using your debit card.

  • Sign up for alerts. Our debit card alerts help you stay informed about unusual activity on your debit card. You can set up alerts to notify you when your card:
    • Is used for an online, phone, or mail order purchase
    • Is used in an international location
    • Exceeds the purchase amount that you set
    • Exceeds the daily ATM withdrawal amount that you set
