Protecting What Matters
At Utah Independent Bank, your financial security is our top priority. As fraud tactics continue to evolve, we are committed to keeping you informed, protected, and confident in your banking relationship. Recently, we’ve seen an increase in fraudulent calls and texts in which scammers impersonate banks and attempt to access your debit card or personal information. These scams are designed to create urgency and fear, but with the right knowledge, you can stay one step ahead.
Fraud Alert: Stay Vigilant
Scammers are contacting customers posing as “card services” or fraud departments. These messages may:
-
Claim there is suspicious activity on your account
-
Ask you to verify your card or personal information
-
Direct you to click a link or respond immediately
Important reminder: Utah Independent Bank will never ask for your full card number, PIN, or online banking credentials via text, email, or unsolicited calls.
How to Protect Yourself
-
Pause before responding to urgent or unexpected messages
-
Do not click links from unknown or suspicious sources
-
Verify directly with us using a trusted phone number
-
Report suspicious activity immediately
Fraudsters rely on quick reactions. Taking a moment to verify can stop them in their tracks.
