Identity Theft
GNBank wants to warn our customers about phony telephone calls and automated messages (robocalls) that purport to be from GNBank. This fraudulent activity, known as “phishing” attempts to acquire sensitive information, such as account numbers, passwords, or PIN numbers, to access financial accounts. These “phishing” scammers have only phone numbers and geographic information. They do not have any personal financial information! We want to inform you that GNBank would never telephone you to verify or obtain your account or debit card information.
Finally, please do not give out personal information over the phone or release information online!
GNBank recommends that customers:
- Never provide personal information, including financial account details and Social Security Numbers, to anyone unknown to them.
- Use great caution before providing personal information that could be used to access financial accounts through Email or the Internet.
- Never provide account information over the phone when contacted unexpectedly by someone claiming to be from a bank or credit union; follow up with the institution by phone or in person.
- Safeguard passwords, PIN numbers, and other account-accessing details or codes; never write that information on credit/debit cards or carry it in a wallet or purse.

Since 1933, the FDIC seal has symbolized the safety and security of our nation’s financial institutions. FDIC deposit insurance enables consumers to confidently place their money at thousands of FDIC-insured banks across the country and is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. FDIC deposit insurance coverage depends on (1) whether your chosen financial product is a deposit product; and (2) whether your bank is FDIC-insured.
The FDIC Covers
- Checking accounts
- Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (NOW) accounts
- Savings accounts
- Money Market Deposit Accounts (MMDAs)
- Time deposits such as certificates of deposit (CDs)
- Cashier’s checks, money orders, and other official items issued by a bank
Coverage Limits
The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. The FDIC provides separate coverage for deposits held in different account ownership categories. Therefore, depositors may qualify for coverage over $250,000 if they have funds in different ownership categories and all FDIC requirements are met. All deposits an account holder has in the same ownership category at the same bank are added together and insured up to the standard insurance amount.
