3. Bank Mail

The bank is required by law to have procedures in place to ensure that customer financial information and history is accurate, current, and complete. The bank will not furnish information relating to a customer to any consumer reporting agency if we know or consciously avoid knowing that the information is inaccurate.

Limiting Employee Access to Information

Employee access to personally identifiable information is limited to those employees with a business reason to know such information about our customers. Bank management is directed to take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee privacy responsibilities.

Security Procedures to Protect Information

Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank offers Internet Banking and BillPay services to our customers. These services are accessed through an authentication process, which requires two codes, a User Identification Number and Password. Our security measures rely in part on these codes remaining confidential. Please do not share these codes or other personal identifiers with others.

Cape Cod Five cannot guarantee the security of your account when you allow third parties to access your accounts. Please use caution when using financial aggregator sites. NEVER PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO A SITE THAT YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE AND FULLY TRUST.

YOU SHOULD KNOW: ALL transactions initiated by an aggregator site using access information you provided are considered to be authorized by you, whether or not you were aware of the specific transaction. You may revoke this authority only by notifying us in writing, and we may need to block your account until we issue new access codes.
