Don’t make any payment instruction changes or adjustments before you verify the change directly with the contact you work with at the company. Don’t use the contact information provided in the email you receive to verify the validity of the request.
Alerting us anytime your contact information changes helps to ensure we can contact you quickly and limit account exposure in the event we see suspicious activity.
