We have been notified that there are fraudsters spoofing United Trust Bank website information and employee profiles. Their intent is to obtain your personal identification and account information to steal your identity and/or money.
If you come across a website, receive an email or a call from Guarantee Credit Union Bank; Annex Bank; Key Bank or any other caller asking for your personal identification or account information – DO NOT RELEASE ANY INFORMATION.
