Take a moment to verify the amount before transferring any money back. Watch the video to learn how fraudsters try to dupe you and how to #BeatTheCheats.

The Federal Trade Commission reported fraud losses reached a record high in 2023, with U.S. consumers losing more than $10 billion. NexTier Bank is committed to protecting our customers' financial and personal information. Here are a few tips you can use to help protect yourself from fraudsters: 💻 CREATE A STRONG PASSWORD: Aim to make your password at least 12 characters. Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to make your password strong. 📱 USE MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION: Using multi-factor authentication means a hacker who steals your password can't log in to your account without another authentication factor. The most common type of multi-factor authentication is a verification passcode you get by text message or email. Authentication apps or a security key provide more protection. ✒️ PICK SECURITY QUESTIONS ONLY YOU CAN ANSWER: Avoid questions with a limited number of responses that hackers can guess — like the color of your first car. Skip questions with answers that someone could find online or in public records — like your zip code, birthplace, or mother's maiden name.
