Proud to be a Supporting sponsor of the Mendocino Film Festival 🎬 Last month, Savings Bank sponsored this year’s Mendocino Film Festival, a premier arts and culture festival that brings film buffs from across the country to our beautiful coast. Our team was also on hand to support the festival behind the scenes. The event drew hundreds of visitors, including filmmakers, producers, and movie fans, who supported our local businesses and admired everything Mendocino County has to offer. We're happy to be able to participate in amazing local events like these. #MendocinoFilmFestival #CommunitySupport #ProudSponsor

Being online is essential for business, but it can also put your business at risk. June is National Internet Safety Month, and Anna Scott, Vice President and Security Officer at Savings Bank, shares that a few small steps can go a long way in being safer online. "Today, we can't do business without the internet, and scammers know it. And while the methods they use are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the ways to protect yourself are still the same." These include: - Using strong, unique passwords for every login, often with the help of a password manager. - Always enabling multifactor authentication (MFA) to help prevent unauthorized access. - Learning to spot and avoid phishing attempts from unexpected calls, emails, or texts. Savings Bank takes your security seriously. Learn more about how we protect you at https://lnkd.in/gGZu6wPR. #InternetSafetyMonth #InternetSafety #FraudPrevention
