1. How do I opt out of Automated Fraud Monitoring alerts for my debit card?

   You can opt out of Automated Fraud Monitoring alerts by replying STOP to the SMS text message, replying STOP to the email message or following the prompts on the Voice alert message.

2. What should I do if I'm the victim of check fraud?

   Check fraud occurs when someone steals your actual checks or reproduces them. They then attempt to cash those checks and, if successful, can pull money out of your account.
   
   If you're the victim of check fraud, please visit any Old National banking center, as an associate will need to complete the appropriate paperwork, which will require your signature. At the same time, we will handle any changes that need to be made to your account. Sometimes it may be necessary to close the account and open a new one or issue a new debit card if the card number was compromised.

3. What is the difference between Card Controls and Automated Fraud Monitoring?

   Both Card Controls and Automated Fraud Monitoring help to protect you from fraudulent activity on your debit card and account.

   Card Controls give you direct control within Online Banking or the Mobile App. You are able to select the types of alerts you want to receive, set spending limits, decline transactions and more.
   
   Automated Fraud Monitoring is a service Old National debit card holders are automatically enrolled in. If we ever suspect that your card is being used by someone other than you, we’ll send you a real-time text alert, email or phone call and ask for your confirmation. Based on your response, we can immediately shut down your card if necessary. If you prefer, you can opt out of Automated Fraud Monitoring alerts.

   Both Card Controls and Automated Fraud Monitoring are free services, and together they provide a double layer of protection for your account and debit card.

4. Will Card Controls and Alerts replace the current ON Guard Visa Purchase Alerts app?

   Yes, beginning August 12, 2020, the on/off card controls previously available in the separate ON Guard app will be found as a new Card Controls feature in Old National Online Banking and the Mobile App.
   
   That means you’ll be able to turn your debit card on and off, and set transaction alerts, in the same place where you already do all of your other digital banking. There will be no need for a separate enrollment or additional app.

   Visit our Card Controls and Fraud Monitoring page, for step-by-step instructions for activation.

6. Why is LIBOR being discontinued?

   LIBOR was introduced in the 1980’s as a benchmark interest rate that was intended to reflect banks’ average cost of short-term, wholesale unsecured borrowing. Over time, and particularly during the financial crisis that began in 2007, banks became less and less reliant on inter-bank lending. As a result, the number and dollar volume of transactions from which LIBOR was derived declined dramatically. To make up for this shortfall, LIBOR panel banks resorted to using “expert judgment” when submitting various rates used in calculating LIBOR. This left it susceptible to manipulation and fraud.

   In 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator for LIBOR, announced that after December 31, 2021, the panel banks would no longer be required to submit settings for LIBOR. (This has since been revised to June 30, 2023, for most LIBOR tenors.) This announcement effectively started the countdown to the end of LIBOR.

7. What are financial scams I should be aware of?

   What you need to know:
   Scams fall into a couple of categories, Advanced Fee Scams & Bank and Financial Account Scams.

   • Advanced Fee Scams – based on the concept that the victim is promised a benefit (prize, lottery winnings, inheritance) but must pay in advance for some fee before the victim can receive that benefit. Variations of this scheme include business opportunity/work, credit card interest reduction, work from home online scams and romance schemes.
   • Bank and Financial Account Scams – involve tricking individuals into providing their debit card, credit card or financial account information so that scammers gain unauthorized access to those account and siphon off funds. Some of these techniques include:
     • Phishing – use of email and websites that pretend to be legitimate banks, financial institutions, credit card companies and manipulate the victim into disclosing personal and financial data
     • Vishing – telephone equivalent of phishing; fraudsters call prospective victims and pretend to be the victim’s bank to trick them into disclosing details during the call
     • SMiShing – texting equivalent to phishing

   Types of Scams:
   IRS Scams: Scammers call potential victims demanding cash payments for unpaid taxes via prepaid debit cards, money orders, Western Union/Money-gram or wire through their bank. According to the IRS, the agency will first contact taxpayers by mail, not by phone, concerning taxes owed and it will never as for payments using a prepaid debit card, money order or wire transfer. 

   Online Dating Scams: Scammers troll media sites in search of romantic victims-usually claiming to be Americans traveling or working abroad. Here is how the scam works. You are contacted online by someone who appears interested in you. They may have a profile and email you pictures. For weeks, even months you may chat back and forth forming a connection. You may even be sent flowers or other gifts. Ultimately, your new “friend” will request money. There will be repeated hardships that only you can help alleviate. You may also be sent checks to cash or forward a package. In addition to losing your money, you may have unintentionally taken part in a money laundering scheme by cashing phony checks and sending the money overseas and by shipping stolen merchandise. 

   Grandparent Scam: A grandparent receives a call from a “grandchild”, typically late at night or early in the morning. The caller claims to be traveling out of the country and is in a bad situation (arrested for drugs, car accident, mugged) and needs money wired ASAP. The caller does not want his or her parents called. A variation is the caller claims to be an arresting police officer, lawyer or doctor and requesting money. 

   Online Shopping Scams: These can take many forms. Some scammers will pose as genuine sellers and post fake ads at much lower prices. After you pay, the items never arrive. Other scammers will pose as buyers and send a check for more than the required payment and ask for a refund. You send the refund and the check comes back as fraudulent. You are out the item and the amount of the refund. 

   What you need to do:

   • Become familiar with common fraud scams
   • Know who you are receiving checks from before you deposit them
   • Never pay anyone to receive a deposit
   • If someone calls you and attempts to obtain sensitive information or scam you, hang up
