Security

Continuing to Spread Awareness of Fraud
& Identity Theft

At First Southwest Bank, the security of customer information is our top priority. We're here to help protect you from telemarketing fraud, impersonation, identity fraud, lottery fraud and jury selection fraud, just to name a few. One of the best ways to avoid becoming a victim of fraud is to become an educated consumer. Follow these simple guidelines to help safeguard your information.

If you are suspicious about anyone contacting you or sending you unsolicited lottery checks,
please visit the FBI Website for more information about fraud. Another good site for banking security information is the FDIC Consumer News page.

What does First Southwest Bank Do with Your Personal Information?

Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some, but not all, of this sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.

International Debit Card Usage

Due to excessive international fraud, customers will not be able to use their First Southwest Bank debit cards at an international merchant. Please call us for more information.
