Reduce Your Risk
Have you heard the phrase, "the best offense is a good defense"? Taking precautions to reduce your risk of financial fraud is the first step in protecting yourself.
The following is a list of steps you can take to minimize your exposure to fraud:
- Protect your personal and financial information at all times. Treat this information as you would safeguard cash.
- Never provide your checking account, credit card or Social Security number to any unknown individual whether in person or through email or telephone solicitation.
- Never provide your ATM, debit card or PIN (Personal Identification Number) to any solicitor. Old Point National Bank will never solicit your PIN number through telephone, letter or electronic banking.
