FRAUD ALERT:
If you receive an email from an employee at the bank about a check being returned this is a phishing email. The “from” says the name of an employee but the email address is not a bank email address. Do not open any attachments, click on any links or reply to the sender. We will never send you an email asking for confidential information.
We believe financial literacy should begin at a young age, teaching children these valuable life skills beginning in elementary school. Bankers visit our local schools each year using the Teach Children to Save program created by the American Bankers Association 25 years ago. We sponsor the Banzai and Everfi Financial Literacy programs each school year in local elementary, middle and high schools. If you are an educator within our banking footprint and are interested in a Financial Literacy program for your students, please contact us to learn more. The Bank provides these programs at no cost to the schools who use them.
