Protecting You From Fraud

Protect Your Identity and Stay Safe Online

At Washington Financial Bank, your security is our priority. We’re committed to safeguarding your personal and financial information with cutting-edge security measures and practical resources to help protect you against identity theft and fraud.

Simple Steps to Protect Your Identity

Simple Steps to Protect Your Identity

Protecting your information doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some easy ways to stay safe every day:

  • Only share personal information when you’ve initiated contact.
  • Carry only the essentials when you leave home; avoid keeping your Social Security card in your wallet.
  • Shred sensitive documents like receipts, credit offers, and statements.
  • Avoid placing outgoing mail in your residential mailbox; opt for a USPS collection box or post office drop.
  • Be cautious of unsolicited emails and never click on suspicious links. Instead, contact companies directly using verified numbers.
  • Opt out of preapproved credit offers at www.optoutprescreen.com for added security.
  • Sign up for online statements and review your accounts regularly for unfamiliar activity.
  • Choose strong, unique PINs for debit or credit cards, and shield keypads when entering your PIN.

If you lose your debit card, call us right away, or use the Card Control feature in our mobile app to freeze it immediately.

  • Monitor your accounts daily, and if you notice suspicious activity, contact us at 724.206.1170.
  • Create strong, unique passwords using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using personal details like birthdays or pet names.
  • Change your passwords regularly and never share them with anyone.
  • Set up email or text alerts for account activity like password changes or large transactions.
  • Use secure, trusted networks and avoid accessing online banking from public Wi-Fi or shared computers.
  • Keep your devices updated with the latest software and antivirus patches.

Always log out of online banking sessions before leaving your computer, and enable dual approval for business transactions.
