This collection occurs through several channels, including direct interactions, online activities, and from third-party sources. For example, when you apply for a loan or open a deposit account, we collect personal details such as your name, address, Social Security number, and financial history.
The information we collect is primarily used to process your transactions, service your accounts, respond to your inquiries, and offer products and services that may be of interest to you.
