“Borrego Springs Bank is promptly responding to an isolated incident involving customer information provided to a contracted third party accounting firm, " Julie Smart, the bank's executive vice president and chief administrative officer, said in a statement quoted by The San Diego Union-Tribune. " We value our customer relationships and the trust and confidence they place in us. We sincerely regret any concern or inconvenience this incident may have caused.”
The bank specializes in financial services for individual Indians and tribes.
