🔐 Cybersecurity Awareness Tip: Think Before You Click!

Scammers are getting better at making fake emails and text messages look real. But there are often warning signs that something isn't right!

🚩 Watch out for:

Strange email addresses: The sender's address doesn't match the company they claim to represent.
Urgent threats: Messages saying your account will be locked unless you act immediately.
Unexpected requests: Texts asking you to pay a fee, verify your account, or share personal information.

Remember, even a message that looks legitimate could be a scam! When in doubt, don't click!

👏💙 A big congratulations to our COO, Mike Augusti, on completing the Credit Union Development Education (CUDE) program!

Mike joined 52 other credit union leaders in this year's graduating class, gaining valuable knowledge, building connections, and bringing fresh ideas back to Franklin Trust and the members we serve.

We're proud of you, Mike! 🎉

53 new CUDEs. One more ! 👏

These leaders are returning to their credit unions and communities with new perspectives, stronger connections, and ideas to put into action. Because DE doesn't end with graduation. It's what happens next that matters: asking different questions, challenging the status quo, building partnerships, and finding new ways to improve financial well-being.

Congratulations to our final in-person of 2026! Welcome to the DE community: https://www.ncuf.coop/news/53-credit-union-leaders-earn-cude-designation-in-final-in-person-de-class-of-2026/
