Financial fraud is certainly nothing new to any of us, however, it has evolved over the years as banking and commerce have changed. As you can imagine, with the implementation of technology into our financial lives, thieves have redirected their efforts from check fraud to ATM/Debit Card fraud and On-Line Banking fraud. As I mentioned, this alert is nothing new, just a reminder to always safeguard your Debit Card information and On-Line Banking ID’s and Passwords.

Never release your Debit Card information or On-Line information if someone calls, texts or e-mail’s and states that they represent TheEDGEBANK or Premier Bank of Jacksonville. If someone contacts you for financial information take down their information and let them know you’ll call them back. Once you have their information you should contact us via a trusted phone number, 618-659-0991, so we can investigate the potential fraud. Generally speaking, bank staff will never contact you to ask you for your Debit Card or On-Line Banking information.
