Phishing Scams

The Dewey Bank will never send emails or text messages that ask you to click on a link to activate or unblock your account.

Dewey Bank will never ask for any personal or account information, including Social Security numbers, account numbers, security questions, PINs, email addresses or passwords via email, unsolicited phone calls or text messages.
There has been a recent nation-wide increase in phishing scams against financial institutions. Current phishing attempts are in the form of emails and text messages to customers asking them to complete an online form by supplying account information and PIN numbers.
If you receive an email, phone call or text message requesting verification of your Social Security number, account number, password or PIN, DO NOT ENTER the information. Instead, please contact Dewey Bank at 217-897-1125 for verification before responding to any such request.
Because Dewey Bank takes the security of our customers' accounts and personal information very seriously, we have a team of experienced staff that is actively uncovering and removing phishing sites that attempt to steal the identities of our customers.
Sincerely,
Tony Bradbury Exec. Vice President Dewey Bank
