Our privacy practices are designed to comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), which sets standards for financial institutions regarding the handling of nonpublic personal information.

The information we collect is primarily used to process your transactions, service your accounts, respond to your inquiries, and offer you relevant financial products and services. We also use aggregated, anonymized data for internal analysis to enhance our product offerings and improve security measures for all Arvest Bank customers.
Arvest Bank respects your right to understand and control how your personal information is used. We provide you with several options to manage your privacy preferences and exercise your rights regarding the data we hold.
