Fraud Alert: Social Media Phishing Scam
We’ve been made aware of sponsored social media posts from "Gibbs Mura Law Group Overdraft Lawsuit Investigations" falsely implying there is a lawsuit related to overdraft fees at multiple banks across the country, including community banks like ours. These posts are NOT legitimate. They are a part of a phishing scam designed to steal your personal information.
 
If you see one of these ads:
🚫 Do NOT click on any links
🚫 Do NOT fill out any forms
🚫 Do NOT share personal or banking information
 
Remember:
  • We never ask for passwords, debit card numbers, or PINs over the phone, email or social media.
  • If something doesn't seem right, call us directly at 508-627-4266
  • Never share sensitive information from unsolicited phone calls, text messages or digital advertising.

Your safety is our priority. For more information on fraud protection, please visit our Fraud Prevention Page or contact the Solutions Desk.

It’s easy to get your Social Security or SSI (Supplemental Security Income) benefits directly deposited into your account.

If you are currently receiving benefits and you have a Martha’s Vineyard Bank account:

  • Use online banking to start or change Direct Deposit (Social Security benefits only), or
  • Contact a Martha’s Vineyard Bank representative for assistance, or
  • Call Social Security toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), or
  • Visit your local Social Security office

If you are not currently receiving benefits but plan to apply:

Tell the Social Security representative when you apply for benefits that you want to sign up for Direct Deposit. If you already have a Martha’s Vineyard Bank account, have your checkbook or a copy of your bank statement with you.

You can download a direct deposit form on the Martha's Vineyard bank Switch Kit page.
