Collection of Personal Information

Financial companies choose how they share your personal information, but federal law gives consumers the right to limit some, not all, sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.

The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the products or service you have with us. This information can include:

  • Social Security number
  • Account balances
  • Payment history
  • Transaction history
  • Credit history
  • Checking account information

Even when you are no longer our customer, we continue to share your information as described in this notice.

All financial companies need to share customers’ personal information to run their everyday business. In the section below we list the reasons financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the reasons Gateway Bank chooses to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.
