Pause before responding to unexpected banking requests.

THE BIG PICTURE

Take a moment to verify

Unexpected messages may ask you to act quickly or disclose private information.

Use a known website or support channel to verify the request independently.

Do not enter your password or PIN through a link you do not trust.

A CLOSER LOOK

Slow down unexpected requests

A message that creates urgency or asks for a password, PIN, or code deserves extra scrutiny. Open the known website yourself rather than relying on a link in the message.

If a caller claims to represent the bank, end the conversation and use the published contact channel to check.
