Fraud Protection
Your security is foremost here at Peoples Bank. You will receive a text if a suspicious transaction is detected on your debit card. The text will offer basic information about the transaction. If it's your transaction, simply reply "yes" and you can carry on with your purchases. If it's not your transaction, reply "no", and you'll receive a message with a number to call for further action. It's quick, easy, and lets you stay confident while using your Peoples Bank debit card.
