Tips on ID Theft Protection

At First National Bank we take your privacy and protection seriously.  We have procedures in place designed to prevent, detect and respond to identity theft.

Although we take every precaution in preserving your identity and privacy, we encourage customers to do the following:

• Shred financial documents
• Protect your social security number
• Don't give out personal information over the phone or on the internet unless you know who you are dealing with
• Never click on links sent in unsolicited emails
• Don't use obvious passwords like your birth date, mother's maiden name, etc.
• Keep personal information in a secure place
• Inspect your credit report and financial statements for any suspicious activity
• Report any suspicious activity immediately

Be alert to the following:

• Bills that do not arrive as expected
• Unexpected credit cards or account statements
• Denials of credit for no apparent reason
• Calls or letters about purchases you did not make

Contact the bank  to report any suspicious activity or to report any lost or stolen  debit/credit cards.
