State Bank of Taunton is always looking for ways to make managing your money easier, which is why we are so pleased to introduce mobile check deposit as our latest customer enhancement. We know how busy life is these days, and it isn’t always feasible to stop by the bank to deposit checks. And now, you no longer have to add another errand to your to-do list.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by on Halloween. We had a spooky good time! There was plenty of fun things to do from playing games to refreshments to our Halloween coloring competition with students participating from Canby, Minneota and Lincoln Hi.
There are many criminals who attempt to steal your money through identity theft. Here are some ways they attempt to steal your personal information.
Many times thieves will send emails that appear to be an official bank or credit card email, with proper logos, etc. They will request updated information for your account or inform you of suspected fraudulent activity and need you to log-in and verify your information. These emails include a link or button to take you to the log-in page, which was created by the identity thief to look like the real site. When you log-in, they record your username and password and “log you in” to the fake site with whatever information you just provided. You will then be asked to update some personal information, such as your social security number, name, address, etc. Now the thieves not only have your credentials to access your bank account, they also have the necessary information to create new accounts under your name and social security number.
