Yes, we’ve reached the holiday shopping season; Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday, etc. A lot of credit cards are being used on these days, which also means a lot fraud and scams are happening. We tend to bring this topic up around this time frequently because we feel it’s crucial to keep you protected from the scrooges (scammers). As you continue your shopping, it’s important to be aware of how and where you’re using your card.

Throughout the year, we’re involved with several community events. From benefit fairs and business expos with local select employee groups (SEGs) to supporting blood drives, we’re committed to making a positive impact within the community. A lot of the events we take part in are showcased through our social media platforms; however, there are some that may not receive as much attention, but are just as prominent!

It’s a busy world out there and juggling your work and personal life can be a continuous struggle. A lot of us have full schedules and are convinced to keep it that way; finish this to get to that, plan what’s next…you get the idea. But a poor balance between the two can lead to stress and unhappiness which reduces your productivity both at home and work. The good news is a balance can be achieved. Follow these steps to help attain a healthy work/life balance. Write them down, stick them in your wallet or post them on your desk, the fridge, the nightstand, etc.
