Dear Valued Customer:

In order for us to provide the best Internet Banking experience possible, please be mindful that The Citizens Bank of Swainsboro/Laurens County will never request that you verify personal or financial information over the Internet or via email. The Citizens Bank of Swainsboro/Laurens County has prepared a few reminders to help protect you from Identity Theft. Please take a few minutes to review.

How to Protect Yourself:

1. Never provide your personal information in response to an unsolicited request, whether it is over the phone or on the Internet. E-mails and Internet pages created by phisher’s may look exactly like the real thing. They may even have a fake padlock icon that ordinarily is used to denote a secure site. If you did not initiate the communication, do not provide any information.
2. If you are unsure whether a contact is legitimate, contact The Citizens Bank of Swainsboro/Laurens County. You can find our phone number and Website on the monthly statement or the local phone directory. The key is that you should be the one to initiate the contact, using information that you have verified yourself.
3. Review account statements regularly to ensure all charges are correct. If your account statement is late in arriving or does not arrive, call The Citizens Bank of Swainsboro/Laurens County.

Should you have questions concerning this matter do not hesitate to contact our customer service representatives. Remember, “Our prime interest is, YOU”.

Sincerely,

Milton B. Gray, Jr.
President
