Description:
A batch of 800 debit cards of Ohio Heritage Bank customers were compromised over the weekend due to information being taken from Heartland Payment Systems.

Heartland is an independent debit and credit card transaction processing company that does more than 100 million transactions monthly for some 250,000 businesses across the United States, according to Ohio Heritage Bank President Dick Baker.

"There was no breach of our security. It's nothing we did wrong," said Baker. "We were just the unfortunate recipient of what happened."

Baker said that they were alerted of the matter Saturday and that bank employees stayed after hours to work on the situation and call customers who were affected. Not all customers were spoken with and Baker said letters were also mailed out.
