Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Know Where your Money is Going
Protecting your financial information is one of our highest priorities. When using online payment methods like Zelle, wires, and ACH, payment verification is crucial for preventing fraud and reducing errors. Below are some tips to avoid fraudulent charges:
⚠️ Look up the company’s phone number on your own (don’t use the one a potential scammer is providing), and call the company to ask if the request is legitimate.
⚠️ Require dual control before submitting any new/changed payment information.
⚠️ Contact a senior member of the company before sending any payments requested by email.
⚠️ Check email addresses for slight changes.
⚠️ Don’t click on anything in an unsolicited email or text message.
⚠️ Be especially wary if the requestor is pressing you to act quickly.
