Due to inclement weather, all Legacy Banks Branch Offices will open at 10 a.m. today, Wednesday, February 24, 2010.

Recent media reports describe the increasing tendency of financially stressed homeowners to simply “walk away” from their mortgage, a practice called a “strategic default” whereby the owner simply stops making mortgage payments and forces the bank to foreclose on the property. 

On February 19, Legacy Banks experienced a disruption to its website and Online Banking access. At this point all components of www.LegacyBanks.com should be restored. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please contact the Customer Service Call Center at 800-292-6634 if you experience any further problems. The Call Center is open until 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this disruption.

It has been brought to our attention that some Legacy Banks customers have received recorded phone calls regarding their Debit Card.

With good weather upon us, now is a great time to think about enhancing the value of your home with a Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit.

Falsified email purporting to be from NACHA is currently circulating

Random individuals and/or companies may have received a falsified email with the subject title "Rejected ACH Transaction." This email appears to be from NACHA - The Electronic Payments Association is telling them that there is a problem with an ACH transaction they have originated. The email includes a link which redirects the individual to a fake web page that appears to be the NACHA website and contains a link which is almost certainly an executable virus with malware.
