Scams
and we want to ensure your safety and security.
How to identify a scam
Phishing emails
Be cautious of emails claiming to be from the bank, especially if they ask for personal information or direct you to click on suspicious links.
Fake websites
Double-check the website URL before entering any login details. Scammers often create fake sites that look like the bank’s official page to trick users.
Unexpected calls
The bank will never call you to ask for sensitive information such as passwords or PINs. If you receive an unexpected call requesting this, it’s likely a scam.
Urgent threats
Scammers may create a sense of urgency, claiming your account is at risk and pressuring you to act quickly. Take your time and verify the information independently.
