LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – During the holiday season, Savings Bank would like to remind community members of a few ways to safeguard their finances.

Keep track of your purchase activity by reviewing your accounts regularly to ensure all charges, checks, or withdrawals are authorized.

Use secure Web sites when shopping online or paying bills.

When using a public wireless network, avoid online banking and financial transactions.

And be cautious when it comes to giving out your personal and financial information. Do not provide any personal, account, or card information unless you’ve initiated the phone call.

For more reminders, stop by your favorite Savings Bank branch location or go to www.savingsbank.com .

Savings Bank of Mendocino County wishes community members a happy and safe holiday season.
