Fraud Prevention

General Security Tips

  • Use strong, unique passwords for your accounts
  • Turn on two factor authentication where possible for your sensitive accounts that are used to verify your identity with other services. 
  • Do not follow/click on links sent via text messages. If you need to access your GreenState account do so by visiting our main website at www.greenstate.org or by downloading the official GreenState App from the Apple App or Google Play store.
  • Do not share any private security information over the phone or via text message. GreenState employees will never ask for your username, password, card or account numbers. If you receive a suspicious call or ever have doubts about who you are speaking to, please hang up and call us back at 800-397-3790.
  • Travel Notification - Call or Chat GreenState or submit a Travel Notification Form to let GreenState know your travel plans.
  • Opt in for eStatements - Reduce the opportunity for criminals to gain access to your personal information by opting in for eStatements in Online Banking. It is easy to do so; it also saves you money!

Text / Email / Phone Scams

Be vigilant about text messages or emails you may receive. Many criminals pretend to be your financial institution and trick you into gaining access to your accounts.

This is why we will never ask you for your username or password and why you should always use the Online Banking mobile app or the link at GreenState.org to access your accounts and no links sent via text message.
