What is "Phishing?"
"Phishing" refers to a person or group of cyber-criminals who create an imitation or copy of an existing legitimate Web page to trick users into providing sensitive personal information. Responding to "phishing" emails puts your accounts at risk.
Online and Mobile Banking Security
To keep your online banking experience as secure as possible, we have a security feature called Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). 2FA is method of confirming an end user’s identity by requiring two of three pieces of evidence: something you know, something you have, or something you are. When logging into Online and Mobile Banking for the first time, you will be asked to complete the 2-step verification process. Following this initial set up, each time you sign into your account on an unrecognized device, your password and a verification code will be required. You will have the option to choose your verification method by using an authenticator app, Authy, or a voice or text message.
If you have any questions about the security of your account please contact us.

We recommend that you take several precautions to help prevent the compromise of your Online and Mobile Banking account.
