Top 3 Tips for a Malware-Free Phone




Hackers, like all criminals, follow the money. When most online transactions were conducted on PCs, hackers targeted PCs with their malicious software (malware). Today commerce is exploding on smartphones and other mobile devices, so the malware business is now exploding on those devices as well.

Consumer Tip: Know Your Financial Vocabulary
While the financial world is full of acronyms and other terms that can be confusing, it's important to be well versed. Below is a list of common financial terms that you've most likely heard but may not understand their meaning.
 
401(k) Plan - A qualified retirement plan through an employer in which eligible employees can make salary deferral contributions on a post- or pre-tax basis.
 
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) - A type of mortgage with an interest rate that periodically changes. There may be an initial "teaser" rate, which will go up after a specified period. After the initial term, the rate will adjust (usually annually) with an index.
 
Amortization - A schedule of paying off debt, including the principal and interest, in regular payments over a period of time.




"We felt very welcome - staff was interested in us. You came highly endorsed."

The Dime Bank 
Employees' Fundraising Efforts
 










For our Christmas in July efforts, each branch picked someone they know serving overseas or a member of anysoldier.com. We then collected much needed items for them, wanting to make their jobs away from home a little easier. Everyday items that we might take for granted during our everyday life here at home are very much appreciated by those who are serving to protect our country overseas. We hope our packages will find soldiers in good health and brighten their spirits. 


The Dime Bank employees also held a jean day to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of their founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family's ability to pay. We raised $484 for this great cause.
