Social Media Community Guidelines

As a local community bank, we have an active social media presence to help us stay connected with you and serve you better. We encourage everyone to:

  • Stay on topic, use common courtesy and be respectful of others
  • Submit your own original content and avoid content you suspect to be fraudulent
  • Only post someone else's copyrighted work if you have permission
  • Never post personal, identifying or confidential information

Because our social pages are public and anyone can participate, we cannot be responsible for views expressed other than our own. Our employees moderate our social pages during regular business hours. We'll make every effort to respond in a timely manner; however, we can't guarantee that we'll reply to every comment.


Account Inquiries

If you have a question about your STAR Bank account(s), please contact a STAR Customer Solutions representative using one of our secure channels below:

STAR Bank has a presence in various social media/social networking channels and may occasionally identify and respond to customers seeking assistance with general banking-related questions. However, for your own privacy and security, it is highly recommended that you avoid using social media for account-related inquiries.


Social Page Review Policy

All comments, posts and tweets will be monitored and reviewed by STAR Bank employees to ensure that they comply with our policies and do not compromise our customers’ privacy and security. We reserve the right to delete comments or posts that we deem are abusive, inflammatory or otherwise inappropriate. Please note:

Comment and Posting Policy

We expect conversations to follow the rules of polite conversation, and we ask that participants treat each other, as well as our employees, with respect. We may delete comments or posts that we deem to be:

  • Profane, obscene, inappropriate, disruptive or unrelated.
  • Indecent, sexually explicit or pornographic material of any kind — including masked profanity where symbols, initials, intentional misspellings or other characters are used to suggest profane language.
  • Threats; personal attacks; abusive, defamatory, derogatory, or inflammatory language; or stalking or harassment of any individual, entity or organization.
  • Discriminatory or that contains hateful speech of any kind regarding age, gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation or disability.
  • False, inaccurate, libelous or otherwise misleading in any way.
  • Spam, or containing or linking to any kind of virus, malware, spyware, or similar program that could cause harm to a user's computer.

For the benefit of lively discussion, we ask that comments always relate to the topic within the post and/or tweet. While we welcome reasonable critiques, we may delete negative comments about STAR Financial Bank and/or our competitors that aren't relevant and don't add to the overall experience. We may delete comments we deem to be off topic, including solicitations.
