Why Appoint a Trusted Contact Person
For peace of
mind, BAC Community Bank provides the ability for you to appoint a family member, friend, or any trusted individual who
you believe can act in your best interest as a Trusted Contact Person.
In an age of increasing financial fraud, a
trusted contact can help safeguard against nefarious actions that could jeopardize your financial wellbeing. Naming a Trusted Contact Person adds
another layer of protection for your personal assets when something unexpected may happen in your life. It adds an additional
level of security to your account.
Financial Institutions often serve as the first line of defense when it comes to cases of possible financial
exploitation. A Trusted Contact Person is another resource to help protect you against financial abuse or scams.
Learn more by searching
“Trusted Contact Person” on our website or by visiting us at your local branch, by telephone at (877) 226-5820, or
through Smart ALAC.
