Fraud Protection Program

Mechanics Cooperative Bank is committed to protecting your personal account information and reducing the potential for fraud. As a result, we have invested in a Fraud Detection Program that actively tracks transactions associated with your accounts.

The Fraud Detection Programs works around the clock, 365 days per year and includes direct customer communication when necessary. While the Bank would NEVER call and ask you to verify your personal account information (such as your account number or social security number), we may call and ask you to verify recent transactions including merchant location and amount. These verifying phone calls help ensure any possible fraud is detected and removed immediately to limit exposure. We appreciate your cooperation if you ever receive one of these calls.

Security Best Practices

The Bank will also NEVER send unsolicited emails or other types of communications requesting you to verify any of your personal or financial information. We will never send a link to our website through email without telling you first or without you requesting us to do so.

If you receive a suspicious request please report it to us at report_abuse@mechanics.bank.

If you believe that you gave out sensitive information regarding your accounts please call us immediately at 508-823-7744. We appreciate your business and thank you for banking with Mechanics Cooperative Bank.
