Fraud Prevention Advisory
We are committed to your financial safety.
As your BetterBanking partner, Security Bank will never ask for your One-Time Pin (OTP), Personal Identification Number (PIN), Card Verification Code (CVC, the 3-digit found at the back of your credit card or debit card) and passwords.
If you receive a call from an individual introducing himself/herself as someone from Security Bank and he/she asks for these sensitive information, courteously decline the request.
Be wary of red flags by paying attention to the details of the instructions such as the beneficiary, beneficiary address, amount, etc. If the instructions are not within the usual transaction pattern or behavior of the Customer Care agent, probe further to give you a hint if the caller and his/her instruction are both legitimate.
If you already suspect that your account may have been compromised, immediately contact your branch of account or Customer Care at 888-791-88.
Thank you.
