Protect Yourself Online

Learn about Fraud Protection

At Huron Valley State Bank, your security and information safety are our top priorities. We wanted to share with you some resources to protect yourself from being a victim of fraud and ways to protect yourself online.

• Never reply to emails that seem to be from us but request personal information such as account numbers, social security numbers, or online banking credentials. We will never solicit information from you in this manner. If you receive an email that appears to be from us and requests personal information, please contact us immediately.
• Avoid opening suspicious emails. Fraudulent emails posing as entities like the IRS, FBI, FDIC, Amazon, PayPal, UPS, FedEx, Western Union, and other organizations or government entities are increasingly common. Clicking on links or opening attachments in these emails may introduce viruses that can log your online activity or allow remote access to your computer.
• Ensure your computer has a comprehensive antivirus program that scans actively. Verify that the antivirus program updates automatically, as outdated programs may not safeguard against new threats. 
• Ensure your computer is equipped with an anti-malware program that updates automatically to protect against newer malware threats.
• Keep your web browser and operating system updated.
• Exercise extreme caution when accessing your internet banking account at Wi-Fi hotspots (e.g., hotels, coffee shops, restaurants) as these networks are often unprotected and pose a high security risk.

We want to emphasize that we never solicit your personal information through text messages, emails, phone calls, or the Internet. This information is only requested when you initiate contact with us, aiming to verify your identity and enhance the security of your accounts.

For any security-related questions or concerns about your accounts please contact us immediately.
