about Freedom National Bank

security

Security is a priority at Freedom National Bank and we are committed to protecting the security and confidentiality of your information.

Internet Security

Information that you send us is scrambled. This technology, called Secure Socket Layers (SSL), protects information you submit or receive through our site. We have established user code and password controls to protect the information you submit or receive from our site.

Fraudulent Web Sites

Verify the authenticity of a web site. Be alert for copycat sites that use a name that is similar to that of a reputable business. The intent is to lure you into clicking onto the copycat site and giving your personal information, including your account number and password. Make sure you know whom you are dealing with over the Internet.

Firewalls

Freedom National Bank uses firewalls to help limit entry by anyone without proper authorization. A firewall is a security mechanism that regulates the data going in and out of a network. It is a commonly used, specialized computer which acts as a shield against data going in or out of a network. It checks to make sure that communications only occur between approved individuals.

Links

Freedom National Bank is not responsible for the content of third party sites linked from this site, nor does it guarantee the products or services offered on third party sites. You should review the privacy statement of a Web site before you provide personal or confidential information.

Our Web site may use "cookies" in order to provide a better experience and make your repeated interaction with our services easier.

Electronic Mail

You can communicate with the bank through the use of Electronic Mail (e-mail). You cannot use e-mail to initiate transactions on your account(s). Freedom National Bank will be deemed to have received your e-mail on the business day following transmission. Freedom National Bank agrees to respond within a reasonable time. Any e-mail sent to you by Freedom National Bank shall be considered received within (3) business days from the date sent, regardless of whether or not you review your e-mail within that time.

You should not use e-mail if you need to communicate with Freedom National Bank immediately.

For example, if you need to report a lost or stolen Debit or ATM card, if you need to report an unauthorized transaction from one of your accounts, or if you need to stop payment on a check, call our toll-free number (866) 920-2265.

Visitors to our site may elect to provide us with personal information via e-mail or online registration forms. This information is used internally, as appropriate, to handle the sender's request. It is not disseminated or sold to other organizations.

Security on the Internet begins with your browser. We recommend Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher or Netscape Communicator 4.5 or higher. Your screen resolution should be set to 800 x 600 resolution. Our Online Banking program requires a browser that supports 128-bit encryption.

Please read our Privacy Policy for additional information.

ID Protection

If you notice that your personal information may have been compromised, taking certain steps quickly can minimize the potential for the theft of your identity. It is important to act quickly to protect your credit rating and reduce your risk of loss.

Lost or Stolen Debit/ATM Card

Notify Freedom National Bank immediately by calling (401) 949-1600 or toll-free at (866) 920-2265 or by visiting your local branch to report the loss or theft of your Debit MasterCard or ATM card.

For assistance during non-banking hours, call (401) 949-1600 or toll-free (866) 920-2265 and follow the instructions to be directly connected to the Bank Card Security Department.

Notify all of the participating merchants with whom you have set up automatic bill payments. Once Freedom National Bank issues you a new card, you will need to reestablish automatic bill payments with your new card at the participating merchants.

Your liability under federal law for unauthorized use of your Debit or ATM Card depends on how quickly you report the loss. If you report a Debit or ATM Card missing before it is used without your permission, MasterCard cannot hold you responsible for any unauthorized transfers. If unauthorized use occurs before you report it, your liability under federal law depends on how quickly you report the loss.

If unauthorized transactions appear on your bank statement, report them to Freedom National Bank as quickly as possible.

Identity Theft

If you suspect you are a victim of identity theft:

  1. File a police report with your local police department.
  2. Call the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Identity Theft Hotline at (877) ID-THEFT or visit www.consumer.gov/idtheft.
  3. Call Experian, the consumer reporting agency used by Freedom National Bank at (888) EXPERIAN or (888) 397-3742 and place an initial fraud alert on your credit reports. This alert will stop someone from opening new credit accounts in your name. Experian will automatically contact other nationwide consumer reporting companies.
  4. Notify Freedom National Bank by calling (401) 949-1600 or toll-free (866) 920-2265 or by visiting your local branch.
  5. Depending on the type of fraud that has been committed, additional steps may need to be taken.

Check Fraud
