Dear Bank Family,
I am pleased to announce we are growing again by acquiring the deposit accounts of

As we work toward the spring, we'll work to ensure they have a smooth and positive transition. We're sharing the love and continue to look for future growth and
opportunity

All the best,

A note of thanks to Mortgage Loan Officer,
Janice Huffhines from happy mortgage customers, Mike and Lori McGaha. The McGahas closed on their former home and purchased their new home in Farmington in less than 30 days, from application to funding. Likewise, Janice says the McGahas also enabled a smooth process with their involvement. "It really was a cooperative effort among all parties involved," she said.

7 Tips to Prevent Tax ID Fraud
|
As the 2017 tax season gets underway, FCCB offers the following tips and urges customers to take extra precaution when filing their returns to prevent their exposure to tax fraud:
- File early. File your tax return as soon as you're able to, giving criminals less time to use your information to file a false return.
- File on a protected Wi-Fi network. If you're using an online service to file your return, be sure you're connected to a password-protected personal network. Avoid using public networks like a Wi-Fi hotspot at a coffee shop.
- Use a secure mailbox. If you're filing by mail, drop your tax return at the post office or an official postal box instead of your mailbox at home. Some criminals look for tax return forms in home mailboxes during tax season.
- Find a tax preparer you trust. If you're planning to hire someone to do your taxes, get recommendations and research a tax preparer thoroughly before handing over your financial information.
- Shred what you don't need. Once you've completed your tax return, shred the sensitive documents that you no longer need and safely file away the ones you do.
- Beware of phishing scams by email, text, or phone. Scammers may try to solicit sensitive information by impersonating the IRS. Know that the IRS will not contact you by email, text, or social media. If the IRS needs information, they will contact you by mail first.
- Keep an eye out for missing mail. Fraudsters look for W-2s, tax refunds, or other mail containing your financial information. If you don't receive your W-2, and your employer indicates they've been mailed, or it looks like it has been previously opened upon delivery, contact the IRS immediately.
If you believe you're a victim of tax identity theft or
if the IRS denies your tax return because one has previously been filed under your name, alert the
IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1.800.908.4490.
