Tips to Protect Against Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information, such as your name, Social Security number, credit card number, bank account number or other identifying information to commit fraud.
There are simple ways that you can safeguard your personal information, online accounts and personal information.

General Tips

Keep track of transactions on your accounts by logging into Kleberg Bank OnLine Banking.

Reconcile your bank and credit card statements at least monthly.

Do not carry your Social Security Card, or your social security number.

Do not have your Social Security Number or Driver’s License number printed on your checks.

Keep new and cancelled checks in a safe place.

Shred all documents that contain personal information.

Protect you Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) and passwords. Do not write them down or share them with anyone.

Check your credit report at least annually. Texas residents may obtain a free credit report annually from each of the credit reporting agencies. See the Kleberg Bank website for a link to order your free credit report.

Tips for the Phone

Do not give out personal information such as checking account, credit card or Social Security numbers over the phone unless you initiated the call.

If you believe you are not talking to a representative of a legitimate company, hang up and call the number in the phone book.

Tips for the Mailbox

Pay bills online or use a locked mailbox.

Know your billing cycles. If bills are late or missing, immediately contact the company.
