Online security is a priority at Bar Harbor Bank & Trust, so we want to make you aware of
some schemes that thieves use to encourage you to reveal confidential information through
email or the Internet.
Phishing
One of the most popular online scams is called "phishing". You may receive an email that
appears to come from a reputable business instructing you to verify personal information.
Phishing emails look legitimate because they often contain the logo of the business they
claim to represent. Be careful! Such an email may lead you to a counterfeit web site where
you will be asked to complete an online form to confirm your account details. This personal
information is gathered by criminals and is used to commit fraud.
Bar Harbor Bank & Trust will never contact you via email to ask for account numbers,
passwords or PINs. Please do not reply to any emails that ask you to confirm account details
or personal information.
Debit Card PIN Entry
When you use your Debit card online, you should never be required to reveal your PIN number
to complete a transaction. The only time your PIN number is required is when you are
withdrawing money at an ATM or making a purchase in person.
Do not provide your PIN in any other circumstance, especially over the Internet.
Please Notify Us!
Again, please never divulge your PIN or other account information online.
If you have mistakenly given out your PIN, please contact us immediately.
If you have questions, please call us at 207-288-3314 or toll free 888-853-7100.
Thank you for helping us keep your financial information safe!
