Security best practices

- Be wary of messages, calls or emails that rush you to act or ask for personal information.
- Use unique, long passwords and turn on two-step verification when available.
- Type the online banking address yourself in your browser instead of opening links from messages.
- Keep your device, browser and apps up to date.
- Review your transactions often and turn on alerts.
