What you can do to protect yourself

Update your contact information and follow us on our social media channels

Having the correct contact information helps us reach you when needed. We will never contact you and ask for personal information such as account numbers or social security number. However, if we notice anything suspicious, we need to be able to reach you quickly. And social media provides us the quickest way to share breaking information about business operations.

Follow safety protocols

Continue to follow the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations on personal hygiene and social distancing. You can find more information by visiting cdc.gov.

Be fraud aware

Scammers are working hard to take advantage of you during the Coronavirus outbreak. Follow these tips to protect yourself.

1. Monitor your accounts – use online and mobile banking to check transactions on all your accounts. Report any suspicious activity as soon as possible.
   
2. Text, Phone, and Email scams – as a best practice, never click links in emails or text messages when you didn’t initiate the contact. Also, don’t give out information to incoming calls. Fraudsters are sending emails claiming to have important updates from the CDC or other well-known organizations in an attempt to install malware on your computer. Never enter sensitive personal information or click on links in these emails.
3. Only visit legitimate websites – fake websites and tracker maps can download malicious malware on your device. Go directly to health organization websites for information updates.
4. Give the right way – we all want to help, but scammers are posing as charities asking for donations via gift card or pre-paid money cards. If asked to give this way, it is fraud. Don’t do it.

It’s also worth noting that your money is safer in a bank than in your own home. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures deposits up to $250,000, per account holder for each qualified account type, per insured institution. If you have your money hidden in your home and your house burns down, there may be limits on what your insurance will cover. If you need cash, Peoples Bank of Alabama ATMs are available.

As always, the health, safety, and well-being of our customers, our associates, and our communities is of paramount concern. We continue to monitor this quickly evolving situation and are here to assist our customers as needed.
