Person-to-Person Relationships

Pay close attention to the people to whom you send money, especially new contacts. Not only can you accidentally send money to the wrong person, but the wrong people can keep the funds sent and request more money from you.

Online & Mobile Banking Sessions

Never leave your computer, mobile device, or tablet unattended without logging out of online and mobile banking; this prevents unauthorized persons from continuing your banking session. Always log out when you are finished
