Privacy

Not only do you put your trust in Park Bank to act as a responsible steward of your money, you also count on us to protect your sensitive personal data. We take this charge seriously and are pleased to share with you the steps we take to maintain the highest possible confidentiality standards.

Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information

Park Bank does not disclose your nonpublic personal information to companies that perform services on our behalf or to other businesses or organizations unless we have a formal agreement to do so and when necessary and lawful to verify the condition and existence of your account to a third party (to a credit bureau or in response to a court order, for example). We do not disclose nonpublic personal information about former clients, except as required by law.

Nonpublic personal information is information we collect in connection with providing a financial product or service and does not include information that is available from public sources.

Confidentiality of Nonpublic Personal Information

Park Bank restricts access to your nonpublic personal information to those employees who need to know that information to meet your banking needs. In addition, we have in place physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect your data from improper access.

We limit the use and collection of information about you to that which is necessary to provide you with the best possible service while administering our business according to banking regulations. Information about you is collected from a variety of sources including, but not limited to:

  • Applications
  • Forms
  • Transactions with us or others
  • Consumer reporting agencies

Authorized Sharing—Joint Marketing Agreements

Park Bank does not disclose nonpublic personal information to other businesses or organizations with whom we have not entered into a joint marketing agreement, except as noted above. Businesses with which we have formed a joint marketing agreement may receive your name and address from us so that they can provide you with information concerning products and services we feel would be of benefit to you. Businesses we currently have joint marketing agreements with include check printing, investment, and insurance companies.

Protecting Your Identity

Be suspicious if someone claiming to be from Park Bank or any bank asks for confidential information via mail, e-mail, or over the phone. We advise you to contact Park Bank Client Services if you ever doubt the identity of anyone claiming to represent our bank.

It is also a good idea to review your account information regularly to protect yourself against identity theft. By using our online and telephone banking services, you can regularly check your account history to ensure that all transactions are legitimate. You can access your account via www.parkbank.com or by calling 608-278-6868. Park Bank also encourages you to periodically review your credit report to ensure the accuracy of the information it contains.

If you suspect that you are a victim of identity theft, you can find guidance on the steps you should take to minimize your exposure to fraud on Park Bank's website.
