Red flag on a first date: they ask for your PIN number to ‘“verify who you are.”’ Just as you’d steer clear of that question on a date, be cautious with similar requests via email, phone or text. Trust your gut and learn to spot the scams at BanksNeverAskThat.com. #BanksNeverAskThat

3 Ways to Achieve Your Financial Goals 1. Set Specific and Measurable Goals Break down your financial goals into clear, actionable, and time-bound targets. For example, instead of saying "I want to save money," aim for "I want to save $5,000 for an emergency fund by the end of the year." This provides direction and a timeline. 2. Create and Stick to a Budget A budget is your financial roadmap. Outline your income and expenses to understand where your money is going and how much you can allocate toward your goals. Prioritize saving and investing by treating them like mandatory expenses. 3. Regularly Track and Adjust Your Progress Monitor your progress consistently—weekly or monthly—to ensure you're on track. Financial situations can change, so adjust your budget or savings plan as needed to stay aligned with your goals. Tip: Use financial apps or spreadsheets to track your income, expenses, and goal milestones, making adjustments when necessary. #wearectb #strongertogether #financialgoals #communitybank #finance #financialfreedom
