Fraud attempts are on the rise and knowing what to look for can help you protect your accounts. Fraudsters are increasingly using spoofing tactics - pretending to be trusted companies -- such as pretending to be We Florida Financial -- to try to access your personal and financial information.
To keep your accounts safe, please remember:
We Florida Financial will never contact you to ask for:
- Your online banking login or password
- Secure Access Codes
- Full debit or credit card details (including the number, CVV, or expiration date)
If you ever receive a suspicious call, text, or email claiming to be from us, do not share any information. Instead, contact us by typing wefloridafinancial.com into your internet browser.
Automatic Alerts are Another Line of Defense
We also recommend setting up account alerts through Online or Mobile Banking. Navigate to Settings > Alerts and enable alerts such as for withdrawals, debit card purchases and online banking access -- to stay up to date on your account activity.

Watch for These Warning Signs
📲 Unsolicited Messages: If you receive texts or calls about suspicious transactions which you did not initiate -- and the caller asks you to "verify" your login or card details, hang up. This is most likely a scam.
📞Caller ID Spoofing: Scammers may mask their phone numbers to look like they are calling from We Florida Financial. This is false. Always verify unexpected requests by dialing the phone number yourself, not relying on Caller ID.
🔒Urgent or Threatening Language: Be especially cautious if someone pressures you to act fast or threatens account closure unless you provide your personal information.
Tips to Stay Safe
- Never respond to unexpected messages asking for sensitive data
- Don’t click links or download files from unknown sources
- Use strong, unique passwords for your financial accounts
- Regularly review account activity and report anything suspicious right away
