Bankers Observe Get Smart About Credit Day Today!Bankers across the country will bring financial education to teens and young adults nationwide this year as part of the ABA Foundation’s Get Smart About Credit initiative, which is sponsored by Ally Financial, Citi, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo. In observance of Get Smart About Credit Day today, bankers will share resources with students about managing money, including paying for college, knowing their credit score, budgeting and protecting their identity. Since 2002, bankers have typically visited thousands of classrooms in every state with in-person and virtual lessons. The ABA Foundation will hold a free webinar on October 20 at 2 p.m. EST for bankers who want to learn about inventive approaches for educating teens, college students and underserved communities on personal finance. The foundation has also added new infographics to its collection of free resources that banks can use to educate young adults about scams involving scholarships and student loans. Learn more about the Get Smart About Credit initiative. Learn more and register for today’s webinar. Download the Get Smart About Scholarship and Student Loan Scams infographic.

If you attended one of our spring 'This is How We Roll' sessions, many of you who responded to the post-event survey indicated you'd like to attend future 'roll' events. We are making that happen, and we can't wait to see you via Zoom! As valued members and partners to the SDBA, we invite you to join us on Tuesday & Wednesday, October 25 & 26 at 10 a.m. daily via Zoom as we forecast what we're anticipating for the 2023 legislative session; broadly discuss banking topics and trends affecting our industry, both at the state and national levels; updates on the SD Bankers Foundation Scholarship Opportunities; and it wouldn't be a 'roll' event if we didn't talk about the value of MEMBER ENGAGEMENT! Please consider blocking off some time to join us via Zoom on either October 25 or October 26 at 10 a.m. CDT. The program will be live both days but will repeat, so you DO NOT need to tune into both sessions. Again, these sessions are FREE and I encourage any and all members of your team to attend--frontline to CEO--all bankers are encouraged and welcome, should your schedules allow. That said, registration is REQUIRED, and the registration links are below. Additionally, your bank is welcome to livestream/simulcast the event; however, everyone attending must be registered. Register for October 25 virtual 'On a Roll' event. Register for October 26 virtual 'On a Roll' event. Why register? All who register AND attend either day will be eligible for a drawing for a door prize. Individual registration + event attendance either day = door prize eligibility.

SDBA Fall IRA Update to be Held in Sioux Falls on November 3The SDBA will hold the Fall IRA Update Seminar on November 3, 2022, at the Ramkota Hotel in Sioux Falls, S.D. The IRA Update builds on the attendees’ knowledge of IRA basics to address some of the more complex IRA issues their financial organizations may handle. This course includes how the SECURE Act really changes our two biggest topics: RMDs and death distributions and discusses any pending legislation. This is a specialty session; some previous IRA knowledge is assumed. The instructor Matthew Dickinson uses real-world exercises to help participants apply information to job-related situations. This course is most appropriate for IRA administrators, personal bankers, or member services personnel who have a working knowledge of basic IRA operations and wish to expand their expertise and provide enhanced customer service; financial professionals who recognize that IRAs play an integral role in retirement planning; compliance specialists with procedural oversight of IRA policies and practices; or support personnel responsible for promotional materials that describe the services provided by their financial organizations. See the full agenda and register to attend: 2022 SDBA Fall IRA Update.

CISA News: Cybersecurity Basics For Passwords and Password Management
Creating long, random and unique password is a critical step to protecting yourself online. Using long passwords is one of the easiest ways to defend yourself from cybercrime. The most secure way to store all your unique passwords is by using a password manager. With just one password, a computer can create and save passwords for every account that you have— protecting your online information, including credit card numbers and their three-digit codes, answers to security questions, and more. STRONGER PASSWORDS INCREASE SECURITY• Use a long passphrase with 12 or more characters. Use the longest password or passphrase permissible. For example, you can use a password manager or passphrase such as a news headline or even the title of the last book you read. • Don’t make passwords easy to guess. Do not include personal information in your password such as your name or pets’ names. This information is often easy to find on social media, making it easier for cybercriminals to hack your accounts. • Keep your passwords on the down low. Do not tell anyone your passwords and watch for attackers trying to trick you into revealing your passwords through email or by phone. Every time you share or reuse a password, it chips away at your security by opening more ways with which it could be misused or stolen. • Use unique passwords. Having different passwords for various accounts helps prevent cyber criminals from gaining access to these accounts and protects you in the event of a breach.
