The holiday season is often thought to be the happiest time of the year. Unfortunately, during the holidays, many criminals see the hustle and bustle of the season as an opportunity to trick you into unknowingly providing your bank account information and/or personal data.

Are you ready to purchase a home? Is the rising cost of rent impacting your wallet? If so, you’re not alone.
Having a cushion or extra money in the bank does more than cover you when “life happens”, it also give you a sense of control and financial security should an unexpected emergency arise.
It's generally a good idea to review your employer-sponsored retirement savings plan at least once each year and when major life changes occur. If you haven't given your plan a thorough review within the last 12 months, now may be a good time to do so.
