Tips for engaged and newlywed customers

  • Give only the minimum amount of personal information to wedding vendors and gift registries.
  • Don’t respond to scams or emails requesting information related to wedding or honeymoon plans, even if they promise free gifts.
  • Create a new email account to use exclusively for wedding and honeymoon planning. This helps prevent misuse of a personal email account.
  • Before and immediately following the wedding and honeymoon, closely monitor credit card expenses online.

Tips for recently separated or divorced customers

  • Immediately reset passwords on all shared accounts.
  • Closely monitor banking and other accounts throughout the legal process.
  • Be prudent about discussing the divorce on social networking sites.
  • Secure a safe deposit box to safeguard important documents.
