Heading out of town for the holidays? Whether you’re visiting family and friends, taking a winter getaway, or simply spending more time on the go, a few simple steps can help keep your finances and personal information protected.

  • Avoid accessing your financial accounts on public Wi-Fi, and use your financial institution’s official app or website instead.
  • Keep your phone and other devices locked, updated, and with you at all times.
  • Before you travel, make sure transaction alerts are turned on so you can quickly spot anything unusual.

Taking a few minutes to prepare before you leave can give you added peace of mind while you’re away. Wherever the holidays take you, we encourage you to stay alert and protect your information so you can spend your time enjoying the season.
