Several fraudulent Facebook pages and posts have been reported recently that claim to help users login to their online banking. These sites are not authorized to collect customer login information. Peoples Bank will never call, email or text you and ask for your account number, login ID, password, social security number, birthdate, debit card number or PIN. We also do not contact customers over social media and request your personal information.
