Information on Current Debit Card Text Scam (January 26, 2025)
This scam is comparable to scam messages that are very common with financial institutions, delivery services, and other businesses. Keep in mind, the only text messages you will receive from United Bank of Iowa regarding your debit card are:
- Alerts that you have established in Online or Mobile Banking
- Messages sent by our debit card fraud detection service
Legitimate text messages will not have a link that you are asked to click on. A text you receive that includes a link is likely a scam, so please DO NOT click on any links in the message. If you think you may have fallen victim to this scam, call your local United Bank of Iowa office.
