Check YES for SentryShield^SM Fraud Protection - Here's Why

For many, a checking account is their financial lifeline... it's the central hub for everything from debit card swipes, to direct deposit and writing checks to pay your personal expenses. You hear about hacks at retailers that can compromise your credit and debit card, but have you heard about check fraud?

Check fraud is when someone, other than those named on your account, alters information on your checks, resulting in unauthorized transactions. It is one of the most damaging forms of identity theft, with an average loss per fraud incident at $2,412! What's more, while you work with your bank and authorities to report and resolve check fraud, you are still obligated to pay your personal expenses on time, or you run the risk of missed and late payments appearing on your credit report.

As your trusted check company, your data security is our highest priority, which is why we partner with SentryShield^SM and recommend you do, too!
