Identity Theft
When someone uses your
name, social security number and other personal information they
are committing a serious crime called identity theft.
We work hard to protect
your personal information. It is the cornerstone of our bank to
maintain the privacy of your information and your relationship
with the bank.
What can you do to
prevent this from happening to you? Diligence. Awareness. Keeping
track of your financial activity.
If you suspect that you are
the victim of identity theft contact us immediately at
501-221-6400. We will work with you to correct the situation
and protect your assets at Central Bank.
Fraud alerts can help prevent an identity thief from opening any more
accounts in your name. Contact the toll-free fraud number of any of the
three consumer reporting companies below to place a fraud alert on your
credit report. You only need to contact one of the three companies
to place an alert. The company you call is required to contact the
other two, which will place an alert on their versions of your report,
too. If you do not receive a confirmation from a company, you should
contact that company directly to place a fraud alert.
