ID TheftSmart Protection

Did you know? As many as 10 million Americans a year are victims of identity theft.

Identity theft is defined as someone using your personally identifying information (like your name, social security number, or credit card information) to pretend to be you. The identity thief does this for his own personal gain at the expense of his victim.

Victims spend from 3 to 5,840 hours repairing damage done by identity theft. This difference is due to the severity of the crime - for example a lost credit card versus the use of your social security number to become your "evil twin." The average number of hours victims spend repairing the damage caused by identity theft is 330 hours.

This is where Reliabank’s new ID TheftSmart™ Protection Plan steps in to help out the victim. As the primary owner of our Ultimate Checking account, you can receive this service free of charge!*

As an ID TheftSmart™ member, you'll have exclusive access to your own experienced, licensed investigator in the event your identity is compromised. He or she will take care of the majority of paperwork and hours of legwork required to reclaim your identity to pre–theft status and regain your financial standing—including areas most people don't even think of as being affected by identity theft.

Contact your Reliabank location for more information.

*A nominal fee of $2/month per person will be charged for all other account holders
