At M&T Bank, we are committed to protecting your personal and financial information - whether you're banking online, by phone or at one of our branches. We want to help you protect your personal information and financial assets by providing the following information and tips.
Why should I check my credit report on a regular basis?
Be proactive and check your credit report on a regular basis. Not only will you be better prepared for negotiations with lenders, you can also get early warning signs of potential fraud.
Security Tip
Memorize your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Whenever you select your own PIN, do not use information that can be readily found in your wallet or purse such as your house number or date of birth.
Identity Theft
As you know, crimes like identity theft, computer hacking, telemarketing fraud and email fraud are unfortunately all too common today. One of the ways criminals carry out such activities is by posing as a representative of a company you currently do business with.
