Taking Care of Your Online Password – The password that is used to gain access to Online Services through Affiliated Bank should be kept confidential. For your protection we recommend that you change your online password regularly. We recommend that you memorize this online password and do not write it town.

B. Unauthorized Transactions in Your Bank Accounts

Notify us immediately if you believe another person has improperly obtained your online password. Also notify us if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Bank deposit account without your authorization or permission, or if you suspect any fraudulent activity on your account. Only reveal your account information number to a legitimate entity for a purpose you authorize (such as your utility company or insurance company for automatic payments). To notify us, call Customer Service at 800-395-3900, or write to Affiliated Bank, Customer Service, 3030 Matlock Road, Suite 105, Arlington, TX 76015.

If you DO NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the theft or loss, and we could have stopped someone from taking money without your authorization or permission had you told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows transfers, withdrawals or purchases you did not make or authorize, please notify us at once. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days after the paper or online statement was sent to you, and we could have stopped someone from taking money if you had told us in time, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty (60) days.
