Online Fraud
Citizens Bank & Trust takes extensive measures to ensure your online banking safety. We encourage our customers to take additional steps that can secure your personal safety even further.
- Install security software on your computer.
- Avoid giving your personal information online. If you must, make sure you are on an encrypted site. An encrypted site will start with an https (the ‘s’ represents security) instead of http.
- Change your passwords frequently. Mix letters, numbers, and symbols of at least 10 characters for a strong password.
- Set up alerts for your financial accounts so you know what transactions occur.
- Never access your accounts using public Wi-Fi.
- Contact Us immediately if identity theft or fraud is suspected.
