Would You Rather: Play Pickleball or Eat Pickles?

Whether you’re smashing serves or snacking on spears, one thing’s for sure: Scammers are the real sour deal.

Your bank will never ask you to log in from a text or email with an urgent message. Don’t get yourself in a pickle. #BanksNeverAskThat

Check fraud is on the rise—especially through stolen or altered checks—but a few simple steps can help keep your money safe:

✔️ Drop checks inside the post office (not your mailbox)
✔️ Use fraud-resistant pens when writing checks
✔️ Monitor your account regularly
✔️ Set up account alerts to track activity
✔️ Report suspicious transactions immediately

If something doesn’t look right, report it right away—we’re here to help.
