Protecting Your Identity with IDProtect2

Identity thieves are more than just a nuisance – they can cost you time and money. At Texas Trust, we've declared war on ID theft – and we've made protecting your identity a forever part of your Bonus Checking account.

Here's what we can do to help:

IDProtect provides daily credit monitoring and allows you to follow your credit score. You'll have authorization to track your credit from all three credit agencies.

Total Identity Monitoring constantly searches for suspicious activity on your account. IDProtect scans the globe looking for unauthorized activity.

If the worst should happen and someone steals your ID, we'll provide a dedicated fraud specialist to help get you through the recovery process until your ID and credit are restored.

Credit Monitoring grants you access to credit reports and credit scores. Daily credit file monitoring and automated alerts of key changes to your credit reports.

Cellular Phone Protection2

Covers damage or theft

Up to two claims and maximum of $1,000 per twelve month period

Up to $800 per claim
