Preventing & identifying fraud

Identity theft is a rapidly growing crime that devastates millions of people every year who become victims of fraud. At Pave Union Bank, we go to great lengths to protect your identity and your accounts against theft and fraud. Our robust security measures protect your personal and financial information. We implement password protection and encryption to assure secure online transactions. 

You also can help protect yourself by stopping crimes before they happen: 

• Do not provide your financial information or Social Security number to any person or organization you don’t know. 
• Report lost or stolen checks immediately to us so we can block payment on them. 
• Notify us of suspicious phone inquiries asking for your account information to verify a statement or award a prize. 
• Closely guard your ATM Personal Identification Number (PIN) and ATM receipts. 
• Shred financial solicitations and bank statements before disposing of them. 
• Place your outgoing mail in a secure, official Postal Service collection box. 
• If regular bills don’t arrive on time, call the company to find out why. 
• Immediately investigate questionable charges on your bills to ward off possible fraud. 
• Contact the major credit-reporting companies periodically to review your file and ensure information is accurate.
