How can I avoid a scam?
We list some activities below that we perform in order to safeguard your data and some tips that you can follow to protect your security.
• We employ industry-proven standards and technologies to protect information in our computing environment.
• We protect our systems and networks from the Internet with Firewall systems.
• We use 128-bit SSL encryption technology to protect sensitive information that is transmitted over the Internet.
• We maintain a Global Digital Certificate signed by Verisign® that assures you are, in fact, communicating directly with UBA Bank.
• We control access to your information inside our company by limiting employee access to systems and data.
• Protect your username and password. Avoid choosing easily guessed words or numbers. Avoid writing your Sign In information in a place where others can view it.
• Use the “Sign Out” button to Sign Out from Online Account Access upon completion of your session and close your browser.
• Do not use email for account-specific questions. Email is not normally encrypted and your account information could be intercepted.
• Review your statement information regularly for unauthorized transactions.
• Phishing is an internet scam (spoof) in the form of an email or pop-up box. The emails and pop-ups link to sites that look like well-known legitimate businesses and ask you to provide and confirm personal, financial, or password information.
• Legitimate businesses do not ask for this information unless you initiate a request for a service. Please DO NOT RESPOND to these emails requesting personal identity, accounts or password information.
• Scam emails often contain misspelled words, poor grammar, awkward or unprofessional writing and typos.
• Be suspicious of urgent or alarming appeals that request security information.
• If you believe you have received a phishing email that claims to be from UBA Bank forward the suspicious email to cfc@ubagroup.com
