Fraud Prevention & Security

At Green Belt Bank & Trust, your security is one of our top priorities.

Quick Tips from Green Belt Bank’s Fraud Specialist 

Monitor your accounts regularly for unusual activity.

Never share personal information by phone, text, or email unless you’re certain who you’re speaking with.

Watch for phishing scams which are fraudulent emails and websites attempting to scam you. Red flags are grammatical errors, unfamiliar pop-ups, urgent demands and suspicious links.

Shop Safely by using Tap with your debit or credit card in person and ensuring you’re checking out from secure websites (https) online.

Report suspicious activity right away — if you need to report debit card fraud, the contact info for the fraud center is blow.
