Hillcrest Bank is proud to participate in America Saves Week, an annual observance that aims to help you successfully stack up your savings. Today we're sharing two ways to start your Savings journey:

PAY DOWN DEBT: Paying down debt is a critical part of building your savings. It is hard to accumulate savings if you are paying debt with high interest rates. Formulate a debt-payoff plan that works for you and your budget.

SAVING AT ANY AGE: Saving is critical for all stages of life. Talk to your family members, from kids to older generations, about the importance of building strong savings habits.

Stop by a Banking Center today and let us help you begin your savings journey!

At Hillcrest Bank, we're proud to be your financial partner and help you take control of your financial future. That's why we're participating in America Saves Week, an annual observance that aims to help you successfully stack up your savings.

Save For Major Milestones: Saving for major milestones such as a wedding, homeownership, or retirement can feel staggering, but it doesn't have to be. Break your savings goal into smaller, more reasonable and actionable goals so that it doesn't feel as overwhelming.

Save For The Unexpected: Saving Life happens when we're least expecting it. Establish an emergency fund to make unexpected life emergencies a little bit smoother. Typically, experts recommend 3-6 months of your monthly expenses saved.

Stop by a Banking Center today and let us help you begin your savings journey!

We recognize that Savers all have unique circumstances, and even if they are in a scenario that makes it difficult or impossible to save at this moment — they are committed to doing the work, taking control of their finances, and becoming more financially stable.

We all have unique circumstances - in many cases it makes it difficult, or nearly impossible for many to save at this stage of their lives. People that are still committed to doing the work, taking control of their finances, and becoming more financially stable - in every stage of life.

For America Saves Week, we encourage you to follow along to learn small ways to make a remarkable impact on your financial future!

Scammers are spoofing (mimicking) bank phone numbers to trick you into engaging with them.

Fraudsters may call or text you appearing as your Bank or other financial institutions, and will ask for personal information about your accounts. Fraudsters may even act like there has been fraud on your accounts or cards to get you to act on their request urgently.

It is important you do not engage and find an alternative way to contact your bank to verify whether or not the message is credible.

By dialing the number directly on the back of your debit card or our Client Services line, you will be connected to the correct phone number instead of engaging with the spoofed phone number the scammers originally contacted you with.

To protect your business:

1. Be Cautious: Exercise extreme caution with unexpected calls, texts, or emails requesting sensitive information or urgent actions.

2. Verify before sharing: Independently verify the authenticity of any communication before sharing sensitive data or taking action.

3. Educate your team: Stay informed about spoofing and scams and educate your employees on how to identify and report suspicious activities.

4. Stay vigilant: Regularly monitor your accounts for unauthorized activity and report any concerns promptly.

If you have any questions or suspect fraudulent activity, reach out to our dedicated Treasury support team.

Stay safe and secure!

This week is Data Privacy & Identity Theft Awareness Week!

Identity Theft can happen to anyone, but follow these simple steps to ensure your Data is kept secure and help lessen the chance it will happen to you:

Protect Your Social Security Number:
Avoid sharing your social security number with others and only carefully share it when necessary.

Keep Your Contact Information Updated:
Make sure your contact information with your financial institutions, employer, and important accounts are up to date so you can receive notifications of account changes or log ins.

Use Strong Passwords:
Protect your accounts with good password practices. Use a different password for each account with at least eight characters of various letters, numbers and symbols.

Fight Phishing Fraud Attempts:
Be skeptical of all emails, texts, phone calls or social media messages from unknown senders. Analyze the message and do not click any links until you have verified that the message is credible.

If you think you've become a victim of identity theft, report it to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at IdentityTheft.gov.
