Why can’t I limit sharing?
Federal law gives you the right to limit:
- Sharing with affiliates for everyday business purposes concerning information about your creditworthiness.
- Affiliates from using your information to market to you
- Sharing with nonaffiliates to market to you.
If I don’t “opt-out” now, can I opt-out at a later time?
Yes, you can always decide to opt-out.
If I request to “opt-out”, do I have to follow the process every year or will my initial notice remain in effect?
You do not need to renew your “opt-out” instructions with us. Your initial request will remain in effect indefinitely unless you contact us to cancel it. If in the future, if we decide to expand how much of your personal information we intend to provide to other companies and it’s the kind of information the law says you have a right to prevent from being shared, Banesco USA will provide you with a copy of the Privacy Policy and give you an opportunity to “opt-out” of the new information sharing. This is why it is very important to pay attention to every Privacy Policy or notice you receive from us.
What happens if I have a joint account?
Any account holder can request to “opt-out” for themselves, or on behalf of all account holders.
What happens when I limit sharing for an account I hold jointly with someone else?
By doing this, everyone on the account is “opting-out”. Your choice will apply to everyone on your account.
If I have “opted-out” and later decide I want to cancel my request, what do I need to do?
Should you decide to “opt-in” after you have “opted-out”, you can call Banesco USA at 1-888-228-1597 and remain on the line to speak with a Customer Service Specialist to cancel your initial opt-out request.
How can I obtain a copy of Banesco USA’s Privacy Policy?
Banesco USA provides you with a copy of the Privacy Policy every time you open a consumer account with us. Additionally, you can visit one of our branches and request our Privacy Policy. You can also read our Privacy Policy online.
