Collection and Use of Personal Information

The collection of personal information online is designed to protect access to your personal accounts and to assist the bank in providing you with the products and services you want and need. All personal information collected and stored by the bank is used for specific business purposes - to protect and administer your personal accounts and transactions, to comply with state and federal banking regulations, and to help the bank better understand your financial needs in order to design or improve our products and services.

Employing stringent security measures in the collection of your personal information, some Vidalia Federal Savings Bank account applications may be printed from our bank's website for your convenience. Once completed, these applications must be brought to our office approval and account opening.

Maintenance of Accurate Information

It is in the best interest of both you and the bank to maintain accurate records concerning your personal information. For this reason, Vidalia Federal Savings Bank allows you to update your personal information online, at anytime, through the submission of encrypted email requests sent to the bank's secure administration site.
