New @ Sterling Bank
Identity theft is the unauthorized use of your name, social security number, date of birth or other identifying information to commit fraud. A study undertaken by the Better Business Bureau and Javelin Strategy & Research estimates that 1 out of every 27 consumers was a victim of identity theft in 2008.
As your financial institution, we are now providing complimentary identity theft protection. Each Sterling Bank consumer account holder* will automatically receive:
- Up to $5,000 Identity Fraud Expense Reimbursement Coverage** for expenses associated with clearing your name and repairing damaged credit
- An ID Theft Recovery Kit to aid in the restoration of your identity
- Toll-Free access to consumer fraud specialists who can assist you through the process of reclaiming your identity
- Online Identity Theft News Center
- Debit and Credit Card registration
You will shortly receive a special mailing from Sterling Bank containing your certificate of coverage and additional information about this benefit. You will also be able to purchase expanded coverage and additional benefits if you so desire.
We are vigilant when handling your personal, non-public information and will take all necessary steps to protect what you entrust to us. As a reminder, you should always contact us if you receive an email that appears to come from us or a telephone call that asks for personal information, account numbers or passwords. We will never ask you to verify an account number or provide a password.
