These days, it makes sense to watch your account like a hawk to make sure that fradulent activity isn’t exposing your account to unauthorized purchases. At Citizens Bank & Trust, we have assembled several tools that empower you to watch your account:

SHAZAM BOLT$ Security App for Your Debit Card

When suspicious card activity occurs, you have the service you need to protect your accounts, thanks to Shazam BOLT$! With this special app, you can automatically receive alerts 24/7 whenever a debit card purchase is made where your card is not presented, such as telephone and internet orders.

Mobile Banking, Online Banking & E-statements

If you want 24-hour access to your account information, sign up for these three great services. You can view current activity and be able to react quickly if there is unusual activity on your account.

Monitor Your Credit Report

Each year, you have the opportunity to get a free credit report from the three main reporting bureaus: TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. The best website to get your credit report for free is Annualcreditreport.com.

We are pleased to announce that changes are coming in the near future to make e-statements part of Online Banking!

What this means for you is only ONE user code and password will be needed. In addition to the convenience of just one user code and password, more detailed account information and history will be available to you with just a click of your computer button. Watch for additional information and the simple steps you need to complete to keep your e-statements delivered to you in this safe, convenient and timely method.

Customers who haven’t experienced the convience and safety of e-statements will now be able to enroll through their Online Banking sign on. Customers who have savings accounts only will now be able to get e-statements too.

Contact any member of our Personal Banking staff with your questions at (320) 587-2233.

She and her husband, Matthew, have been married for 19 years and have one daughter, Kylie, a sophmore at Dassel-Cokato High School.

Welcome to CB&T Robyn!

I first turned to Citizens Bank 5 years ago when I decided to start my own small business.  I had attempted to work with a larger, well-known national bank, as well as a large, well-known regional bank, but was told by both that my new business was just too small to work with.  At that point, a friend of mine told me that I had to get in touch with Citizens Bank, and I am so glad that I did.

Simply put their team made my life easy. Their staff is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about my business.  The service they provide is outstanding and personalized – something I feel you will be hard pressed to find elsewhere.  I was so impressed with their commercial team, I made the decision to move over all of my personal accounts as well.  I simply cannot say enough good things about Citizens! 

What I love most about Citizens:

–        The staff – friendly, caring, smart doesn’t even begin to cover it all – you can tell they really enjoy what they do

–        A community minded, local bank – but with the professionalism and breadth of services and products you find at large national and regional banks

–        Their commitment to helping local businesses thrive (from small to big, and everything in between!)

–        Their commitment and dedication to our community
