County First Bank of Southern Maryland

Due to recent fraudulent activity involving the misuse of debit cards in the State of California, County First Bank has blocked certain signature-based transactions with some types of merchants in California. Merchants involved are grocery stores, pharmacies and discount stores, as well as manual cash advance transactions at financial institutions.

If you are doing business with a merchant in California or are traveling in California, your PIN-based (personal identification number) transactions such as debit card transactions, will not be blocked. Please contact your local branch if you have any questions.
