Report Phishing

What is Phishing?

“Phishing” is a term used to describe attempts to lure individuals into providing sensitive information such as account numbers or passwords. These schemes often use an authentic-looking e-mail with links to replicate web sites that ask you to submit your personal or financial information.

  • Never provide personal information requested [or asked for] in an e-mail.
  • Do not open links in suspicious e-mails.

Please be aware that The PrivateBank:

  • will never require you to enter a user ID, passwords, account numbers or any other personal information directly into the e-mail or other non-secure page,
  • will not issue “threatening e-mails” such as stating to close or suspend your account if you do not take immediate action by providing personal information,
  • will not ask you to confirm, verify, or refresh your account, credit card or billing information via e-mail.
