• Keep important financial documents organized and secure
• Make a plan for unexpected expenses
• Consider a Safe Deposit Box for important documents and valuables

🔐 Did you know? Hometown National Bank offers Safe Deposit Boxes at our LaSalle branch. It's another way to help keep important documents and valuables secure and protected.

A little preparation today can provide a lot of peace of mind when you need it most.

🚨 Fraud Alert: Protect Yourself from Check Washing

Check washing is a growing scam where criminals steal paper checks, remove the original ink, and rewrite them with a different payee and amount.

Help protect yourself with these simple tips:

✔️ Use a black gel pen when writing checks.
✔️ Mail checks from a secure USPS mailbox or post office instead of leaving them in your home mailbox.
✔️ Review your account regularly for unauthorized transactions.
✔️ Report missing checks or suspicious activity to your bank immediately.

A few extra precautions can go a long way in protecting your money and your peace of mind.

If you have questions or notice suspicious activity on your account, contact Hometown National Bank right away.
