Protecting the Herd
We’d move mountains to protect your accounts. That’s why MountainOne invests in enhanced fraud monitoring tools that can help detect unwanted account activity hopefully before it’s too late. If we see something unusual, we may give you a call! If you receive a call from one of our Mountaineers, don’t fret! We’ll ask you a few questions to confirm the details of your transactions, but we won’t ever ask you for your non-public personal information over the phone.
Furthermore, MountainOne does not use unsolicited email, text messages or any social media to discuss your account information, or to ask for non-public personal information. If you are ever in doubt regarding a communication you received, please hang up and contact us directly at info@mountainone.com or 855.444.6861.
Bottom line? We’re helping in the fight to stopping fraud in its tracks. It’s in our nature!
