Beware of Phone Scams

At Independent Bank, we strive to keep you aware of the latest information to help keep your personal and financial information secure. Please continue reading to learn about the most recent scam that has come to our attention.

Scammers are impersonating financial institutions to trick victims into thinking that they are speaking with a Customer Service Representative. They are then asking for personal data and using it to access victims' Online Banking accounts.

What you need to know:

  • Scammers claiming to be from Independent Bank may call or text saying there is a fraud alert regarding suspicious account activity that they need to confirm with you. 
  • In most cases, they are fraudulent "pending charges" to make it seem legitimate. They may also claim that unauthorized access to your Online Banking has occurred and they need to help secure it.
  • During the call, the scammer may ask you to provide your Online Banking user ID, password, answers to your Online Banking security challenge questions, or for the one-time authorization code (OTP) that was sent to your phone via text message. They may even ask you to sign into your Online Banking account to confirm a recent charge or credit/refund. Do not ever give personal information over the phone.
  • Independent Bank does make outbound calls to our customers, however, when we call we will NOT ask you to provide or verify the following:
    • Full Social Security Number
    • Your One-Time Passcode (received via text message or email)
    • Online Banking User ID
    • Online Banking Password
    • Answers to Online Banking Security Challenge Questions
  • When logging into Online Banking, you may receive a One-Time Security Code, to verify your account. We will never ask for those codes over the phone.

Scammers are using this information to reset credentials and log into your Online Banking account. Independent Bank does send emails regarding changes to your account, such as user ID and password changes. If you receive an email from Independent Bank regarding these changes that you DID NOT initiate, please call us immediately at 800.355.0641.


What to do:

  • If you receive a call requesting any of the information above, IMMEDIATELY hang up and call us at 800.355.0641.
  • If you receive a suspicious call like this, begin to review your banking accounts daily. Account alerts can be set up in Online Banking to monitor your account balance and transactions.
  • If you discover a fraudulent transaction on your Independent Bank account, IMMEDIATELY contact us at 800.355.0641.

At Independent Bank, we work to keep your accounts safe and secure, whether you're accessing them online, through your mobile device, through an ATM, or in one of our branches.


For questions or concerns, please contact Customer Service at 800.355.0641. For hours of operation, please visit our contact page.
