Will someone have access to my account if my phone is lost or stolen?
-
No personal account data (account numbers, etc) is stored on your phone. Additionally, within the mobile banking app, your internet banking username and password are required to access your account balances, etc. With texting enabled, someone with access to your phone would have the ability to send and then receive a text with your account balances and would potentially have the ability to transfer funds* between your accounts. Regardless, we recommend that you always report the loss to your mobile carrier to stop service to your phone and contact First United to report the loss of your phone also.
