Having a trusted contact person is important

If we think you may be a victim of fraud, we will contact you. Fast action can help resolve issues quickly. A trusted contact person is someone you authorize us to contact in limited circumstances, such as if we're unable to reach you and have concerns about activity in your account. This person should be someone you trust, such as a family member, friend or professional (such as your attorney). Your trusted contact person will not be an authorized party on your accounts and your account details will not be shared with them. 

Connect with me today to add a trusted contact person to your account.
