Understanding your Heritage Bank Inc data breach notification letter

If a Heritage Bank Inc letter arrived in your mailbox, here is what it means, why you received it, and the free steps you can take right now.

Why you received this letter

Heritage Bank Inc is a financial institution that provides essential banking and credit services to its customers. As a bank, the company routinely collects and maintains highly sensitive personal and financial information required to manage accounts, process transactions, and verify customer identities. In 2025, Heritage Bank Inc officially reported a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized parties may have accessed the personal information of certain individuals. If you received a data breach notification letter from the bank, it indicates that your sensitive data was likely involved in this incident. This notice is intended to inform you of the situation and provide guidance on the steps you should take to monitor your financial accounts and protect your identity from potential misuse.

What to do after the letter

  1. Confirm the notice is genuine

    A legitimate Heritage Bank Inc notice references the specific incident reported to the Indiana Attorney General and describes which categories of your information were involved. Compare the letter against the public filing before acting on any links or phone numbers it contains.

  2. Keep the letter — it is your proof of connection

    The notification letter is the document that ties your personal information to this incident. Keep the original and photograph it. If you later request a case review, this letter is the strongest evidence that you were among the affected individuals.

  3. Protect your accounts and credit

    Depending on what was exposed, consider a free credit freeze with all three bureaus, new passwords for reused credentials, and monitoring of financial statements. These steps are free and do not require you to wait for anyone's permission.

  4. Find out whether you have a claim

    Whether the Heritage Bank Inc breach gives you a legal claim depends on the facts. A free, no-obligation case review will tell you where you stand — there is no cost and no commitment to find out.
