Best Practices

Please observe the following best practices:

♦ Do not send e-mails or otherwise communicate with anyone with an address other than authorized FGA Partners e-mail addresses (see authorized domains listed above). FGA Partners does not permit our employees and authorized representatives to send or receive work related e-mails from personal accounts or any other address. If you are aware of suspicious or potential fraudulent activity when communicating through email, please contact [email protected] for assistance.

♦ Do not communicate or deal with personnel who are not affiliated with FGA Partners.

♦ Do not share your login information or password with anyone, including FGA Partners personnel. Giving anyone access to your login information can put your information at risk. FGA Partners will never ask you for your login information or password except when allowing you to log in to a FGA Partners authorized site (if you forget your password or login ID, we will issue you new ones).

♦ Be creative with your password. You should use a highly secure password for all your financial accounts. The strongest passwords combine letters, numbers and special characters. The longer the password, the better. Never use the name of a family member, pet or any other information that someone could easily obtain, such as your birth date, phone number or address. Remember to change your password regularly as an added security measure. Avoid reusing the same password for multiple websites.

♦ Use an email provider that asks you to verify your identity in multiple steps. Sometimes this is referred to as multi-factor authentication, or two-factor authentication.
