Identity Theft

How thieves get your personal information

Identity thieves and perpetrators of fraud find many ways to access your personal information. They may:

  • Go through your trash or recycling bin at home, work, or the public landfill
  • Misrepresent themselves as working for a legitimate organization (medical office, pharmacy, government agency, charity) to try to trick you into divulging bank account numbers or other personal information
  • Send you emails that look like they are from your bank or another institution you trust asking for personal data

After a perpetrator has gained access to your personal data, such as your social security number, health insurance information, or bank account numbers, they can:

  • Drain your bank accounts or investment accounts
  • Run up charges using your credit cards
  • Apply for loans and credit cards in your name
  • Open accounts for utilities, new charge cards, and other items in your name
  • Get medical treatment or prescriptions using your health insurance
  • Sometimes, give your name to the police in the event of an arrest

Important information about procedures for opening a new account

To help the government fight the funding of Terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means to you: When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
