VISIONBank works diligently to protect our clients and their accounts from fraud, but there are also many important steps that YOU can take to protect yourself.
Monitor Statements + Credit Reports
You should review your account statements at least once a month. Keep an eye out for suspicious transactions or unexpected credit inquiries.

Protect Your Information

Don't Click Unexpected Links + Attachments
Ask yourself was I expecting this email or text? Does this person typically contact me this way? Is this normal or out of the ordinary? Asking yourself these questions can protect you from sharing information or allowing them access to your phone or computer.
