Reporting Fraud
CONTACT
If you feel you have been a victim of fraud or identity theft related to your First Bank Kansas account or debit card, please contact us immediately. If it is related to another financial institution, your credit card company, or any other organization, contact them directly.
Contact one of the three consumer reporting companies and have a fraud alert placed on your credit report. (You only need to contact one as they are required to notify each other when an alert is placed.)

CLOSE
Close any accounts that you believe may have been tampered with or opened without your consent. Report these accounts to the personnel of that relevant company. Inquire as to any other steps they require or recommend you take, which may include you sending copies of the fraudulent activity.
