1st National Bank Privacy Statement
We use client information in the ordinary course of serving your
relationship or managing your business.
For example, we use your
information to:
· Identify
you and protect you from fraud,
so that others cannot use your accounts without your
authorization.
· Process
your requests,
such as, wire transfers, ATM withdrawals or loan applications.
·
Inform
you of additional financial services
to meet your individual needs.
·
Service your accounts,
by issuing your account statements, checks and ATM cards.
In the process of serving
your financial needs, we collect “nonpublic personal
information,” which is information we receive about you in the
course of providing financial services to you. This information
helps us better serve your accounts and understand your needs,
and may come from a variety of sources, including:
·
Information we receive directly from you, on applications and
other forms, such as your name, address and assets.
·
Information we receive through your transactions or experiences
with us, such as your account balance, overdraft history, or
parties to transactions.
·
Information we receive from consumer reporting agencies and
others as we set up your client relationship, including credit
reports, property appraisals, or verification of employment.
Information is shared only as required to service your accounts
and help you achieve your financial goals.
We are very restrictive
with your personal information. There are two primary reasons
for the information we collect:
·
To provide you with greater convenience. For example, to allow
you to use ATMs owned by other banks, or to allow us to serve
you by telephone.
·
To help you meet your financial goals, by informing you of
additional financial services that may be of interest or value
to you.
In addition, we may disclose your nonpublic personal
information, as described above, to third parties as permitted
by law. For example, we might be required to disclose
information about you in response to a subpoena or to a credit
bureau or under certain federal or state laws. Or we may provide
information to others with your consent, for example, to
complete a transaction that you have initiated.
We vigilantly protect the security and confidentiality of client
information.
We have implemented
procedures and guidelines to safeguard the privacy of your
nonpublic personal information from unauthorized use or improper
access. We will continue to enhance our security procedures as
new technologies become available. In addition, we restrict
access to information about you to those staff members who have
a business need to know that information in order to provide
financial services to you. Our staff members are governed by a
code of conduct and are educated about our privacy policies, and
about the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of
client information
Rest assured that we
do NOT sell any non-public personal information you have shared
with us.
We appreciate your loyalty and remain committed to maintaining
your trust and confidence in 1st National Bank.
At 1st National Bank we take a number of additional
steps to protect the privacy of your information:
·
We continually strive to maintain complete and accurate
information about you and your accounts. Should you ever believe
that our records contain inaccurate or incomplete information,
please notify us by calling 1-800-932-3221 or visiting your
banking office. We will investigate your concerns and correct
any inaccuracies.
·
Our strict policies for protecting nonpublic personal
information apply to current clients as well as inactive or
former clients. “Clients” refers to individuals who apply for,
or use the products and services provided by us or have done so
in the past.
Once again, we value your relationship, and will continue to
protect your privacy and keep your client information secure.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
