As you may know, data was compromised from debit and credit cards used to make purchases at Target stores nationwide between November 27 and December 15, 2013. The data included customer name, card number, the card's expiration date and CVV (three-digit security code) on the back.
If you used a credit or debit card at a Target store (not online) during the breach period:
1) Frequently monitor your credit/debit card account for unauthorized transactions. If you are not an online banking client, contact Voyager Bank to review activity.
2) Report any unauthorized transactions immediately.
Focus on unauthorized credit and debit card transactions, not your credit score. Credit monitoring can be a useful tool if someone steals your identify information, such as date of birth, account passwords or Social Security numbers, and sets up new accounts in your name. Plus, fraudulent use of your credit card would not trigger an alert on your credit report and debit card transactions aren't reported to the credit bureaus.
At Voyager Bank, we will continue to monitor the situation and review transactions to identify any debit cardholders who may have been impacted by this data breach. Please go to
