In the Vault: Protect UND Banking Information

We want to remind all departments to safeguard UND banking information; never share UND banking information via unsolicited phone or email.

Scammers may impersonate vendors or officials to gain access to sensitive financial data. Additionally, if your department has UND’s banking information, it must not be shared with any vendor unless you have coordinated directly with the UND Treasury Office.

Below is an example of what a fraudulent call to obtain banking information may sound like and what your response could be. Remember, do not give out UND’s bank account or routing number.

Fraudulent caller: “Hi, this is Mark from XYZ Company. We’re updating our records and need UND’s banking information to process your next payment. Can you confirm the account and routing numbers for me?”

Your response: “I’m sorry, I cannot confirm that information. I have a phone number and a vendor contact at XYZ company that I will call back at a later time.”

Thank you for helping safeguard UND’s financial integrity. If you have questions, please contact melissa.mager@UND.edu
