For more information on Virginia Code § 6.2-103.2, please visit law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodeupdates/title6.2/section6.2-103.2

What is a trusted Contacts list? 

Pursuant to Virginia Code § 6.2-103.2, financial institutions may offer the opportunity to submit and update a list of trusted persons that a customer authorizes their financial institution to contact when there is reasonable cause to suspect that the customer may be a victim or target of financial exploitation.

when would we share information with a trusted contact?

C&F Bank will only share information with individuals designated as trusted contacts in the event we believe in good faith that our customer may be a victim or target of financial exploitation, and only if the customer is considered to be an elderly or vulnerable adult. Elderly or vulnerable adult is defined as any person 60 years of age or older or any person 18 years of age or older who is incapacitated.

What information can be shared with trusted contacts?

The disclosure to trusted contacts only indicates that there is reasonable cause to suspect that the customer may be a victim or target of financial exploitation without disclosing any other details or confidential, personal, account, or financial information.
