Money Smart Week 2010

Women's Fund of Gibson County Hosts "Money Smart Week" at Old National Bank

         With the holiday season right around the corner, keeping track of financial spending is essential. To help with this preparation, Old National Bank and the Women's Fund of Gibson County hosted "Fraud Trends of 2010" this past Thursday, October 21st, at Old National Bank in Princeton, Indiana.

         Not carrying around your social security card and being cautious about online purchases may seem to be common sense ways to protect your identity and monetary spending. However, awareness of current scams and in-depth knowledge of credit and debit card systems can aide in this protection and increase confidence in financial security. At this special event presented by Old National Bank and the Women's Fund, the Fraud Trends of 2010 and how they affect women were discussed throughout the evening. Randy Sutton, Vice President of Physical Security with Old National Bank, presented his knowledge and experience of these trends to the attendees as well as answered any questions they had for him regarding the topic.

         The information provided by Sutton as well as fellow Old National Bank employees proved to be particularly eye-opening and helpful to all in attendance. "Education is the key to prevention of fraud," stated Ann Hyneman, Market President and Retail Banking Center Manager. "Providing education through partnering with organizations such as the Women's Fund of Gibson County is part of Old National's mission. Working with these organizations helps them to be able to reach out to more people in our community."
