You should always review your account activity and recent transactions to be certain that they are yours. Verify that a single, unfamiliar charge is not an error by contacting the merchant. Report any suspicious transactions to us immediately at 1-800-697-0049 or by visiting your local branch. You can view your account statements online anytime at Heartland.Bank or via the Heartland Bank Mobile Banking app. You will not be held liable for fraudulent charges on your account if they are reported in a timely fashion.

Although card account data may be compromised in any incident, it does not mean that data related to your account was taken, or that fraud has occurred on your account. Please be assured that we are actively monitoring the activity on your account and continuing to work to protect you from fraud. As always, please review your monthly and/or online statement carefully and notify us immediately if you see any suspicious activity.

If we are notified that your card may have been compromised, Heartland Bank may reissue your card to you automatically. It is important to monitor your account activity and report any suspicious activity immediately. If you would like to have your card reissued for peace of mind, you may do so by calling 1-800-697-0049. 

If your card is identified as one that may have been compromised due to a data breach, a replacement card may be reissued to you. At your request, a new card can also be reissued as an extra precaution by calling Client Services at 1-800-697-0049.  There is no charge to have your card reissued.

If you receive a new card due to a data breach, you should choose a new PIN on the reissued card as an added layer of protection.
