Fraud Prevention and Online Banking Security Tips
Staying informed is the best way to protect yourself from bank scams, identity theft, and cybercrime. At 1st Summit Bank, your security is our top priority. We are here to help you recognize scams and keep your personal and banking information safe.
The best way to stop scammers is to stop giving them your personal information. If scammers have your name, phone number, address, bank account number, and Social Security Number – most of which are found on checks – scammers can not only steal your money, but they can apply for credit cards and loans in your name.
