- Notify us immediately if you receive an alert about activity that you did not initiate. It is possible that access to your account has been compromised and an immediate response may be necessary.
- If you are unable to access our site, please notify us immediately. This may be an indication that either your account or the Bank’s site is subject to criminal activity.
- Lock your phone with a PIN to prevent unsophisticated takeover of your bank account.
-
Do not download software from unofficial or unfamiliar sources which can result in downloading viruses of malware.

Do not allow a vendor to “jail break” your phone (it can eliminate or diminish inherent phone security features).
