Mauch Chunk Trust Changes Website Address to www.mct.bank

Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, September 14, 2021 – Effective September 14, Mauch Chunk Trust Company is changing its website address to www.mct.bank (formerly www.mauchchunktrust.com) for increased security while introducing a new, easier-to-use website design for visitors on desktop computers, smartphones and tablets.

What is a .bank website address?
“.bank” is a gated domain, like .gov or .edu, but only for verified banks. Replacing .com, which can be purchased by anyone, www.mct.bank quickly verifies that the website or email is authentically from Mauch Chunk Trust Company, so you can interact with confidence when you see the “mct.bank” in our website address and employee email addresses, helping to avoid interactions that could lead to identity theft and financial fraud.

All banks with a .bank domain must also implement additional security requirements to help secure their websites and email, and protect them, their vendors and their customers from phishing, spoofing and other cyberattacks. All banks using .bank are monitored for compliance with these security requirements on an ongoing basis.

Starting September 14, 2021, website visits to the old www.mauchchunktrust.com will automatically be forwarded to www.mct.bank for convenience, and emails sent to MCT employees at “@mauchchunktrust.com” will be forwarded to their new “@mct.bank” accounts. Please update your web browser bookmarks/favorites.

Incorporated in 1902, Mauch Chunk Trust is the successor institution to the Second National Bank of Mauch Chunk established in 1864. For more information on Mauch Chunk Trust, please visit www.mct.bank .
