Fraud Awareness



Beware of Credit, Debt, and Loan Scams 
Fraud continues to rise, with scammers targeting individuals facing financial challenges or preparing for significant life changes. These fraudsters often disguise themselves as "opportunities" for credit, loans, or debt repayment, preying on those in need. 

Before you act, always exercise caution when presented with financial offers that seem too good to be true. 

For more information on how to identify common scams and protect yourself, visit the Security Center on our website: Security Center | Solutions Bank Fraud Prevention & Protection | Solutions. 
 


Card Control


Your Card, On Your Terms 

Play it safe. Debit cards provide convenience and security, allowing for easy purchases like a credit card. However, if your card is compromised, your personal accounts could be targeted by fraudsters. 

That’s why we offer Card Control to help safeguard your information. Card Control is a feature inside your mobile banking app that lets you deactivate your debit card when it's not in use and so much more!  

Protect your debit card against fraud and theft by turning it on and off, and get real-time alerts to ensure your card is used only by you. Go to Digital Banking | Solutions Bank Online & Mobile Services | Solutions to learn more about Card Control.
