Alert: Check Interceptions

Check Payments to Credit Card Companies Being Intercepted

There has been a recent increase in fraudulent activity involving mailed check payments to credit card companies. Fraudsters are intercepting these checks, altering them, and depositing the funds into unauthorized accounts.

To help protect your financial information, we strongly recommend using one of the following safer payment methods:

Online banking bill pay through your financial institution
Automatic payments set up directly with your credit card company
Secure payment portals available on your credit card issuer’s website

If you have recently mailed a check for a credit card payment, we encourage you to:

Review the image of the cleared check through your online banking platform
Confirm with your credit card company that the payment has been properly received and applied

If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our Fraud Specialist, Lindsey Rettenmeier, at 563-588-1000.
