Summer is a season for sunshine, travel, and making memories, but it’s also a time when staying on top of your finances is more important than ever. Whether you’re hitting the road, relaxing by the pool, or simply enjoying a break in routine, FNB has you covered with these essential summer banking tips.
1. Set Travel Alerts Before You Go
Before heading out on vacation, be sure to set a travel alert on your FNB debit or credit card. Letting us know your travel dates and destinations helps prevent any disruptions in card usage while also protecting your account from suspected fraud. Setting up an alert is quick, easy, and can be done through Online and Mobile Banking or by calling our Customer Support Center at 888-934-2536.
2. Use Mobile Banking
When you’re away from home or just on the go, your FNB Mobile App makes it easy to stay in control of your finances. Check balances, pay bills, transfer funds, deposit checks, and even turn your debit card on or off with just a few taps. It’s convenience and security, right in your pocket. Download our free Mobile Banking App today (available for iPad, iPhone, and Android). Learn more here: https://growwithfnb.com/digital-banking/mobile-banking/.
3. Be Cautious at the ATM
Summer travel can mean using unfamiliar ATMs. Be sure to use trusted ATM locations and always shield your PIN when entering it. If an ATM looks suspicious or tampered with, trust your instincts and find another location.
As a reminder, FNB customers with a Best Start Student Checking, Your Club Checking, or YourStart® Checking account can also use any ATM in the U.S. free of charge! Learn more here: https://growwithfnb.com/personal-banking/personal-checking/.
4. Budget for Summer Expenses
Between vacations, camps, back-to-school shopping, and utility spikes, summer spending can add up quickly. Use FNB’s budgeting template to plan and track your expenses: https://growwithfnb.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Household-Budget-Interactive.pdf. A little planning now can go a long way in avoiding summer money surprises.
5. Watch Out for Scams
Scammers are active year-round, and summer is no exception. Be cautious with unexpected calls, texts, or emails that request personal or banking information. FNB will never ask you to verify account details or passwords through unsolicited messages. If something seems suspicious, contact your branch directly.
