We recommend enabling the Password Self-Reset feature if you have not done so already. Once logged in to Online Banking, select Options > Personal Options and enter a Password Self-Reset Question and Answer. Fraud Protection Center The bank provides alert contacts to you to help prevent fraudulent use of your debit card. The First Reliance Fraud Center will identify potentially fraudulent transactions on your debit card 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and will contact you to verify legitimate purchases, and block your card when needed. If a transaction on your card appears to be a low, moderate or high risk for fraud the Fraud Protection system will attempt to reach you: You will receive a text alert, which also has the “fraud” or “no fraud” option for you to choose. The system will identify which number on your customer profile is able to accept texts. This is another reason to ensure phone numbers are always updated with First Reliance Bank After 5 minutes, if no response is received, you will then receive automatic phone calls to confirm or deny fraud. The first round of calls with start with Home, mobile, then work number. After 180 minutes, the auto-dialer will attempt to call again starting with the mobile number, home, and then the work. Email may also be a way we attempt to reach you. If they are able to reach you, the Fraud Center will verify the transaction. If the transaction is a legitimate transaction the Fraud Center removes any blocks that have been placed on your card. If the transaction is a fraudulent transaction(s) the Fraud Center then blocks your card and will send an email to First Reliance Bank with updates to the incident report. Once confirmed, First Reliance Bank will contact you to initiate the dispute. If unable to contact you, the following will occur: A temporary block will be placed on your cards if no customer response is received. Customers can respond to one of their previous contact methods to confirm or deny fraud, or you may call the auto-dialer phone number which looks at the incoming phone number to see if it matches a phone number on an open fraud case. That number can be found on your Online Banking Login Page or the About page on the First Reliance Bank mobile app. The number is within applications in order to prevent others from getting a hold of the number to imitate or "spoof" it making it look like us when it is not us. Importance of Updating Your Customer Information Contact phone numbers are a vital part of fraud prevention. Please make sure your phone numbers and email address is update.
