Protect Your Personal Information.
Help protect your information from potential thieves by following the tips below:
DO consider e-statements as a way to reduce the risk of paper statements getting into the wrong hands
DO automate the processes of getting paid (through direct deposit) and paying bills (through an online bill payment service) to eliminate the amount of paper with account numbers and financial information on it
DO avoid easy-to-figure-out PIN codes and write your PIN in a place away from your card
DO mail bills and checks from a blue U.S. post office receptacle to reduce chances of mail theft
DO get anti-virus software and a firewall for your PC, clear your computer’s temporary files, and update its software regularly
DON'T give out debit/credit card information by e-mail, or by phone unless you initiated the call
DON'T leave web browsers or computer screen windows open when you have finished using them
