Fraud Alert: Scammers Are Impersonating State Bank

Scammers are calling and texting customers while pretending to be from State Bank’s Fraud Department. They may send you a text containing a link and instruct you to click it, enter a verification code, or provide online banking information.

State Bank will NEVER ask you to:

  • SBSU will never ask you to provide a one-time passcode (OTP) sent to your phone or email that says not to share it.
  • Click a link to “verify” your Identity or credentials
  • Provide your online banking login information
  • Send or move money to “protect” your account

Do not click unexpected links, even if the message appears to be from State Bank. If you receive a suspicious call or text, hang up and contact State Bank directly at 435-865-2300.

State Bank Will Never

Scammers impersonate State Bank of Southern Utah (SBSU) by spoofing our phone number to call and text people in Southern Utah. While they appear helpful, State Bank employees will never ask for:

  • Your ATM PIN, full social security, or credit card numbers.
  • Your card expiration dates or CVV codes.
  • Your Online Banking credentials (username, password, codes, or challenge answers).
  • Zelle codes (to send money with Zelle, a phone number or email address is all that you need. The one-time Zelle code sent to you at registration is used to associate your bank account. Never give it to anyone).
