Safety

We wanted to give all of you out there a friendly reminder:

Never give out your personal or financial information over the phone. 

CFSB will never call to ask you for your personal OR financial information. Currently, there are telephone scams across the area alerting people that their debit card has been compromised.  The caller will go on to ask for the account holder’s card number. These calls are not being initiated by CFSB or any other financial institution.   Please, please never give out your card number or any information. If you have had or get a call like this, the best thing to do is hang up immediately and give us a call at the bank as soon as possible at 270.527.4600.

Remember, we value you and want to keep your information safe!

Star Bank

Today we welcomed 27 students from Marshall County High School into our bank. They are this year’s Star Bank class. What is Star Bank? It is a student-run bank at the high school that CFSB sponsors. This class teaches the students all facets of the banking world, as well as how all the processes within the bank work. We have sponsored this class for 21 years for and we are so happy to be involved!

Our Marketing Department works hand-in-hand with Rebecca Phelps, the teacher of Star Bank, to make sure that all the students get the best banking experience possible. Today they heard from professionals from different departments of the bank, along with their job responsibilities.

We love having these students and hope to be have many more Star Bankers join our CFSB team in the future.

Super Shredder Thursday

CFSB is partnering with WPSD Local 6 to bring you Super Shredder.

Bring up to 50 pounds of your personal documents to our Benton Banking Center today, September 5^th for Cintas to shred.

Not sure what might need shredding? How about bank statements or checks you no longer use? Credit Card statements and anything that has your Social Security Number on it.

Super Shredder is here from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. We hope to see you; it’s free from your friends at CFSB!

Kasasa Payout #2

We have done it again; a Kasasa Payout. Just like our first payout, we partnered with a business. First it was a movie theater, this time, a gas station.

CFSB bought $25 worth of gas for the first 200 cars! Yes, $25 to you, for free! All you had to do was get in line at the Benton FiveStar BP on the corner of 5^th and Main to receive our gift.

CFSB Gas Pumping Crew

Some may still ask “Why?” The answer is simple:

To give back to our community.
We care about everyone, customer or not, and we wanted a way to show our appreciation.

Miss out on the free gas? No need to stress….we still have more events planned…

Why a blog by a banker?

You might ask why a banker would blog. The answer is simple.

I want our customers and our community to know what is happening.

If you have questions, we will get you the answers. We are your community bank and we value you.  We want to keep you informed, so please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 1.888.226.5669.

School Has Started

Once again I would like to focus this week’s tidbit on going back to school.

This is such an important time in so many people’s lives. Teachers. Students. Staff. Parents.  The list goes on and on…Let us all make sure that we are keeping all those who are a part of the school system in our hearts.

So, this school year, I want to, and I hope you will as well, pray for the safety of students, faculty and staff.

 These bright minds and wonderful teachers are sculpting the future, and what a great future it’s going to be.

“Knowledge exists to be imparted.”
                                                            - Emerson

Ready or not, the time is here to send the children back to school. Whether they are leaving to go Kindergarten or preparing to leave the nest and head to college, the time has arrived.

We want to take the time to wish parents, teachers and students a blessed year!

May many wonderful days and vast knowledge be imparted on you for a very happy school year.
