Don’t get tricked. Protect your accounts.

Fraudsters are always looking for new ways to get your information — but a few simple habits and the right tools can make it harder for them to succeed.

This October, we’re shining a light on Freaky Fraud and the simple steps you can take to help protect your money, your information and your peace of mind.

Spot the tricks.

Scammers may pose as your bank, a business you know or even someone you trust. They can reach you by phone, text, email or social media — and they often try to create a sense of urgency.

Watch for red flags like:

‣ Requests for passwords, PINs or one-time verification codes

‣ Messages urging you to act or pay immediately

‣ Unexpected links or attachments

‣ Requests to send money using an unfamiliar method

‣ Someone claiming to be Chambers Bank and asking for sensitive account information

When something feels off, stop before you respond, click or send.

Put your Chambers tools to work.

Your account comes with tools that can help you stay connected to what’s happening with your money.

Account Alerts

Stay in the know with customizable alerts for account activity, balances and more.

Card Controls

Take more control of your debit card. Manage card settings and quickly turn your card off if it’s lost, stolen or something doesn’t look right.

Digital eStatements

Keep statements securely inside Digital Banking instead of sitting in your mailbox.

Digital Wallet

Add your Chambers debit card to your digital wallet for a convenient way to pay without handing over your physical card.

Credit Score

Keep an eye on your credit and get a clearer picture of changes that could deserve your attention.

A few smart habits go a long way.

Use strong, unique passwords. Keep your contact information current. Review your accounts regularly. Turn on alerts. And never share a verification code with someone who contacts you unexpectedly.

Most importantly, trust your instincts. If a call, text, email or request doesn’t seem right, don’t be afraid to stop and verify it another way.

Think it might be fraud?

Don’t get tricked. Stay alert, use your tools and keep fraud on the outside looking in.
