Let’s say you receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from the bank, warning that a $20,000 check is about to clear your business account. The caller then instructs you to click a link sent via text message and log in to “approve” or “decline” the transaction.
Should this be trusted? No! This type of fraud is known as “spoofing” and “phishing,” where criminals impersonate trusted institutions to trick you into sharing sensitive information.
Here are a few key reminders to help you stay safe:
● Do not click on links sent via text message or email claiming to be from the bank.
● Always verify the website address. Century Next Bank’s official website ends with .bank.
● Be cautious of urgent or alarming phone calls asking you to take immediate action.
● Never share your login credentials or personal information with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.
Century Next Bank uses a .bank domain, which is a highly secure and restricted web extension available only to verified financial institutions. Unlike common domains such as .com or .org, .bank websites must meet strict security requirements, including enhanced encryption and authentication standards.
This means when you see “.bank” at the end of our web address, you can have greater confidence that you are accessing a legitimate and secure site.
Century Next Bank employees will never call you asking for your:
● Social Security number
● Online banking credentials
● Account passwords or other sensitive personal information
If you receive a call that seems suspicious:
● Hang up immediately
● Call your Century Next Bank branch directly using a trusted phone number
Your security is our priority and staying informed is one of the best ways to protect yourself. If you ever have concerns about a message, call, or website, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
