"Our commitment to digital security means employing industry-leading encryption and authentication protocols, providing our customers peace of mind with every transaction."
When you access your accounts through Customers Bank's online portal or mobile app, your data is protected by encryption technologies that scramble information, making it unreadable to unauthorized parties. Additionally, we employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify your identity, often requiring a code sent to your registered phone or email in addition to your password. This extra step significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access even if your password is stolen. We also use firewalls and intrusion detection systems to monitor and block malicious activity, creating a secure environment for all your digital banking needs. For more information on general online security practices, you can visit FTC.gov.
Prompt identification and reporting of suspicious activity are critical steps in preventing financial loss and mitigating potential security breaches. Knowing what to look for and how to act quickly can make a significant difference. Customers Bank has established clear procedures to assist you.

Identity theft can have far-reaching consequences, affecting not only your finances but also your credit and personal reputation. Customers Bank provides guidance to help you protect your personal information and navigate the steps to take if you suspect your identity has been compromised. Prevention starts with careful management of your data.
One key strategy is to be extremely cautious about sharing personal information, both online and offline. Never provide your Social Security number, account numbers, or other sensitive data unless you are absolutely certain of the recipient's legitimacy and the necessity of providing the information. Regularly check your credit reports from all three major credit bureaus (AnnualCreditReport.com) for free to spot any accounts or inquiries you don't recognize. Placing a fraud alert or a credit freeze can add significant layers of protection.
If you believe your identity has been stolen, act quickly. First, contact Customers Bank to secure your accounts. Then, file a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and your local police department. The FTC offers resources to help you create a recovery plan. Changing all your passwords and monitoring your accounts even more diligently are also crucial steps. Customers Bank is here to support you through this challenging process, offering advice and assistance with securing your banking relationship.
