In some cases you have a choice about what information to give us. For example, you can choose if you want to give us your voiceprint for telephone banking services or your preferred mailing address. We may ask you for consent in these cases when you first apply for a product or service or when you first use a channel such as telephone banking or a mobile app.
If you don't want to have your call recorded, you can let us know and we can provide you with other options for most services. You can also:
