I fear that my bank account may have been compromised, and it is currently the weekend so I cannot tell the bank, what can I do for now to make sure nothing happens until Monday?

Why do you think the account was compromised?

If your debit card is missing, call the contact number for the card and cancel it. If checks were stolen, you will have to wait until Monday morning to stop payment on the checks. If you think the account was compromised by someone on-line, definitely be at the bank on Monday morning.

Some banks/credit unions offer 'on-line' banking. There are lots of options with this. Perhaps one is to contact the bank/cu if your account is compromised. Check this out.

Also, be at the bank when they open on Monday morning to get this straightened out!

call them and tell them you account has been compromised. they will take appropriate steps to protect your account until you can go to the branch on monday
