UFB Direct’s privacy policy outlines our strict commitment to protecting your personal and financial information. We understand the importance of transparency regarding how your data is handled.

"Your privacy is not just a policy statement; it's a fundamental principle guiding every aspect of how UFB Direct operates, ensuring your personal and financial details remain confidential and protected."
We collect only the information necessary to provide you with financial services, comply with legal obligations, and enhance your user experience. This includes identity verification, transaction processing, and customer service. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Access to your data within UFB Direct is strictly limited to authorized personnel who require it to perform their job functions, and all such access is logged and monitored.

While UFB Direct implements extensive security measures, your active participation is crucial in maintaining the overall security of your accounts. Personal vigilance significantly strengthens the defense against fraud and unauthorized access. Always use strong, unique passwords that combine letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid using the same password for multiple online services. Regularly changing your passwords adds another layer of protection.
Be cautious of unsolicited emails, texts, or phone calls asking for personal or account information. UFB Direct will never ask for your full password, PIN, or Social Security number via email or text message. These are common tactics used in phishing attempts. Always verify the sender's authenticity before clicking on links or providing any information. If in doubt, navigate directly to the UFB Direct website by typing our URL into your browser.
Keeping your operating system, web browser, and antivirus software up to date is also essential. Software updates often include critical security patches that protect against newly discovered vulnerabilities. Public Wi-Fi networks can be insecure; avoid accessing your UFB Direct accounts or performing sensitive transactions when connected to unsecured public networks. Consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) if you must use public Wi-Fi.
If you suspect any unauthorized activity on your UFB Direct account, or if you receive a suspicious communication purporting to be from UFB Direct, it is critical to report it immediately. Time is of the essence in mitigating potential damage. You can contact our dedicated security team directly through the contact information provided on our official website. Do not reply to suspicious emails or click on unfamiliar links.
For general information on online safety and to learn more about protecting yourself from common cyber threats, we recommend consulting reputable resources. The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) offers valuable guidance for individuals and organizations on cybersecurity best practices. Staying informed about the latest scams and security advice can significantly reduce your risk.
UFB Direct is committed to working with you to resolve any security concerns swiftly and effectively. We provide clear channels for reporting issues and ensure that all reports are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. Your proactive communication is a vital part of our collective security effort.

We also adhere to a comprehensive privacy policy that governs how your data is collected, used, and stored, ensuring it is never sold to third parties.
