Preventing Fraud

NEVER give out your login and passwords to unknown individuals. Please contact the bank immediately if you believe another individual has any information related to your account or if your account has been compromised.

 

To protect yourself:

✅ Don’t share personal information with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.

✅ Don’t click on suspicious links or call phone numbers provided in questionable messages.

✅ Reach out directly to us using the contact information on our official website or your bank card.

✅ Report anything suspicious right away to us and to the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov.

Hilltop Bank will never ask for your login credentials, Social Security number, or full account details through unsolicited calls, texts, or emails.  Staying cautious is the best way to protect your personal information. If you ever have doubts, give us a call — we’re here to help.
