Debit Card Fraud Tips

Protect Yourself Against Card Fraud

Debit, credit, and prepaid cards provide a convenient way to access your funds – but they can also be a potential target for fraudsters. Here are a few basic tips for protecting your accounts:

  • Review activity on your First Port City Bank cards through First Port City Bank Online Banking, the mobile app or your monthly paper or electronic statement. Immediately report anything that looks suspicious.
  • Don't share personal or account information on social media sites or respond to messages from unreliable sources.
  • Don't respond to unsolicited emails, phone calls or text messages asking for account or card numbers, or other personal information.
  • Never share your PIN numbers or your First Port City Bank Online Banking User ID or password with anyone. When First Port City Bank initiates contact with you, we will never ask you to provide your card PIN or your Online Banking User ID or password in a call, text or other communication.
  • Sign up for a variety of alerts about activity on your First Port City Bank accounts.
  • Use the First Port City Bank Debit Card controls in your First Port City Bank mobile app or Online Banking to lock and unlock different types of card transactions, especially if your card is ever lost or stolen.
