Finance 101: Banking Basics Finance 101: Investing in your financial future is one of the smartest things you can do. But there is more to building healthy finances than simply stashing away extra cash in your piggy bank. In this article, we cover a wide range of topics to help you learn the basics of finance and help you make educated decisions regarding your financial future. Checking Accounts For those new to finance, opening a checking account is a great first step. A checking account enables you to deposit money into an account that can be accessed by writing a check, using your debit card, or withdrawing money from your bank’s automated teller machine (ATM). The biggest advantage to having a checking account is that it keeps your money safe while allowing you to access it when needed. Unlike cash, if your debit card becomes lost or stolen your bank can put a stop on your account, prohibiting unauthorized users to access your money. Tips for using a checking account: Keep a running balance of your account to avoid overdrawing your account. Most banks charge an overdraft fee for purchases that are made with insufficient funds. Consider overdraft protection if your bank offers it to you. Familiarize yourself with your account’s minimum balance requirements. Savings Accounts A savings account is less accessible than a checking account, as the Federal Reserve limits the number of free transfers or withdrawals you can make from a savings account. According to Investopedia, “A regular savings account is easy to set up and maintain. You can usually link this type of savings account directly to your checking account at the same bank and quickly and easily move money between the two accounts. Having these two accounts linked can sometimes help you avoid overdraft charges and/or under-the-minimum-balance fees from your checking account.” Having a savings account can help you set aside money for emergencies and help you save for large purchases, all while earning interest. Credit Building and maintaining good credit will provide several advantages to you, including: Lower financing rates More negotiating power Attractive mortgage and refinancing rates Higher credit card limits and rewards While getting a credit card is a great first step to building your credit, maxing out your credit card, failing to pay your credit card bill 4 min read
Image for tile. Learn How to Be A Phishing Attack Detective With a number of people relying heavily on online services and communication for work and personal life, cybercriminals have increased their volume of attempts to acquire personal information. One of the most common ways they may try to gain access to this secure information is through phishing attacks. This causes problems for both individuals and companies when they are trying to keep information safe. What is phishing? As described by phishing.org, “Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords. The information is then used to access important accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss.” These attempts may look like someone posing as a coworker, asking for input, including links or attachments, among other things. Scammers attempt to gain access to user information every day, but when you know what to look for you don’t have to become a victim. Take a look at our playlist for a few tips to help you become a phishing email detective and use them in your everyday life. It is always a good idea to double check information before opening anything from unknown senders. In episode 1, you see Gil Ubble attempting to open an email from an external source. Upon further investigation, the domain name does not match and the email is not from someone at the company. Often times people are caught in these attacks because they aren’t paying close enough attention to who the email came from. If the email in question looks similar to something that provider would send, do not click on links or attachments. Instead, go directly to that company site or give them a call to make sure the information is accurate. If the email comes from someone who seems to work at your company, but you do not know the person, check to see if they actually work there. Even if the person’s email shows that they work at your company, check the email for other signs of false information. Scammers may go to extra lengths to spoof email addresses 4 min read
11 Easy Tips for Saving Money Saving money is important if you want to be prepared for future financial surprises or hardships and establish peace of mind. But sometimes, finding extra funds to set aside is a challenge. These simple money saving tips can show you new ways to save and fill your savings account up in no time. 11 Great Money Saving Tips 1. Switch your bank account. If your current bank account charges you fees, you might consider switching to a bank that offers you ways to keep your account hassle free. First Bank* offers five different checking account options. 2. Save loose change. Save money by storing loose change in a jar. Once the jar is full, you can cash in the change at your bank and deposit the money into a savings account. 3. Create a budget. By creating a budget, you’ll be able to see where you can cut back your expenses and save money each month.  4. Making a shopping list and stick to it. Instead of going to the store without a plan, try creating a shopping list and not straying from it. This way you won’t be tempted to buy things you don’t absolutely need. 5. Avoid dining out. Dining out is expensive. You can save a ton of money each month by simply eating at home. And if you have to eat out for an event or because you’re running low on time, you won’t feel guilty spending the money because you’ve been saving all month. 6. Cancel cable. As great as television is, cable is an unnecessary expense. If you’re really looking for ways to save money, consider canceling your cable subscription. 7. Make coffee at home. The average American worker spends about $14.40 on coffee per week. By making coffee at home, you could save around $1,100 annually. 8. Cancel unused memberships. Have a gym membership you never use? What about a subscription to a magazine you never read? Look at all of your recurring membership fees and cancel the ones that you’re not using on a regular basis. 9. Shop generic. Often, generic items are just as good as their name brand counterparts. Choosing the generic brand when grocery shopping can save you tons of money on your bill. And to save even more money, don’t forget to sign up 3 min read
