You can easily prevent potential theft of your privacy by following some of these steps:

Destroy paper statements – Do not discard paper statements containing personal information such as account numbers, dates of birth, and ID numbers without first destroying them. At TotalBank Curacao, NV, we do not send out paper statements, thus avoiding risks and contributing to reducing global warming.

Protect Your Mail – Your mail contains all the information thieves need to commit identity theft, and they can easily steal mail from your mailbox. Check your mail regularly and try to keep your mailbox locked.

Review – Try to frequently check your account transactions and statements, credit cards, and any other financial documents through Online Banking. Report any inaccuracies immediately.

Protect Yourself and Prevent – ​​Keep your firewall and antivirus software up-to-date to protect your computer from potential attacks. Do not use public computers (libraries, internet cafes, etc.) to check your accounts or make financial transactions.

You don’t need it – Be wary of pop-up ads offered by the latest anti-spyware, screen savers, or warnings about your system. There’s no guarantee that these come from trustworthy companies; so do your research before downloading.
