What is Phishing?

Identity Theft
What is Identity Theft?
Identity Theft happens when a criminal obtains your personal information to steal money from your accounts, open new credit cards, apply for loans, rent apartments and commit other crimes — all using your identity. These acts can damage your credit, leave you with unwanted bills and cause you countless hours and frustration to clear your good name.
What should I do if my Identity is stolen?
If you′re a victim of identity theft or account fraud, you should notify your bank(s) immediately. If your account(s) is with BNB you should call your BNB Customer Service Representative immediately. BNB will work with you in an effort to make appropriate corrections of unauthorized transactions in your BNB accounts and to correct any incorrect reports submitted by BNB to credit bureaus, and will attempt to help protect you from any future identity theft or account fraud.
