First Hope Bank Offering Complimentary Life Insurance Reviews

In today’s challenging economic times, it is more important than ever to protect what you have worked so hard to accumulate. Life insurance is an often overlooked asset class in a client’s portfolio that has to be reviewed. Many times, our clients are able to reduce their premiums or even get more coverage for the same premiums due to the fact that costs have come down in recent years.

First Hope Bank is excited to offer our preferred clients a complimentary life insurance review on June 6th 2013 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM in our Blairstown office located at 201 Route 94, Columbia NJ. A First Hope Bank Trust and Investment Department advisor will also be available should you want a consultation on our full range of investment, trust and estate services that may meet your needs.

To have your insurance policy reviewed, please call 908.459.6006 or e-mail hgaule@firsthope.com to schedule your half-hour appointment.

Don't Make Personal Banking Data Public Information!

A word of caution: your personal banking data, including account numbers, online banking IDs and passwords, and other sensitive information, should be kept private. Giving anyone access to this information who doesn't need it could expose you to potential fraud; it's surprisingly easy for fake checks to be created or fraudulent electronic transactions to be initiated using only your bank account number and your bank's routing number.

This is equally important for business customers; you should never make your bank account number public information, even to make easier the process of accepting electronic payments or wire transfers. This information should only be provided to the companies or individuals who truly need it.

Keep your banking information private and protect yourself!
