Internet commerce is fast and convenient, but as with the old-fashioned ways of doing business, it pays to take precautions

Online banking, bill paying and shopping are conveniences that most people want to enjoy. And most of the time, high-tech transactions are completed quickly and without a glitch. However, just as with other transactions, in a small percentage of cases something goes wrong. That's why you need to take precautions against theft and errors.

Bank 1440 is teaming with Digital Insight, an Intuit company, to offer FinanceWorks™,  a new financial management solution that provides consumers a more complete and easy way to budget, gain control over their spending and save more during these tough economic times. 

Money is topic A in local news local and network news and talk shows. As a result, it's a wise idea for parents to have "the talk" about money and personal financial management with their children.

With the financial media bombarding us daily on the state of the economy, it's natural to feel a little worried about your financial status and how to keep your money safe.  Worried about the stock market, you may have pulled your money out of your investments.  Worried about the recent bank failures, you may have pulled it out of your bank.  Some of you may have your money under a mattress

But how is that money going to grow and work for you? 

In light of the recent media coverage concerning financial institutions, I would like to take this opportunity to address some concerns you may have about the strength and security of Bank 1440.
