One in three credit reports have errors

Your credit tells your financial story – but what if the story lenders see isn’t accurate?

The power is in the details, and your credit report tells the story. Every payment, every account, every update – it’s all in there. But if the details are wrong, so is the story lenders see. And that can cost you higher interest rates, denied applications or missed opportunities.

With our Credit Score Solution, available right now in online banking, you can:

• See your credit score instantly – anytime, anywhere.
• Download your full credit report – for free, whenever you want.
• Track progress daily – without hurting your score.
• Get real-time alerts – know the moment something changes.
• Fix errors fast – dispute inaccuracies before they cost you.

Your credit is your reputation. Protect it, improve it, and put it to work for you – starting today.

Stay ahead of title fraud

Title fraud, or deed theft, happens when someone illegally transfers your property’s ownership without your knowledge. Using forged documents, fake IDs or falsified signatures, fraudsters aim to steal your title or take out loans against your home – putting you at risk of foreclosure or even eviction while you’re still the rightful owner. Protect your property with these steps:

• Ask your county government if they offer fraud alerts for property documents.
• Periodically check online tax and property records.
• Keep your ownership records in a secure place.
• When buying a property, consider title insurance.

Taking these precautions can lower your risk and help you keep your home secure. Learn more in the article below.
