“We are proud to offer our exclusive FNB Spirit Debit Card Program to our local schools,” stated Brooke Wiles, FNB Marketing Director. “Our customers have pride in knowing that they are making a difference in the lives of our youth by simply swiping their Spirit Debit Cards at the checkout. The donated funds allow the school systems the opportunity to do more for their students and staff, which is an invaluable asset to our community.”

The FNB Spirit Debit Card Program allows FNB and their customers the opportunity to give back to their local schools when they use their FNB debit card. FNB currently offers Spirit Debit Cards for Mayfield, Graves County, Trigg County, and Marshall County Schools. The Spirit Card works like a traditional debit card and for each signature-based transaction (not using your PIN), FNB donates $0.10 to the corresponding school. The tracking process is hassle free for the card holder, as FNB does all the tracking and submits the check to each school on a quarterly basis. The donated funds are utilized at the school’s discretion.

Security Alert: What You Need to Know About the GodFather Trojan

Written by Chelsea Culp on August 8, 2025. Posted in Money Matters.

At FNB Bank, protecting your financial information is one of our top priorities. We want to alert you to a dangerous new cyber threat known as the GodFather trojan — a type of malware that’s specifically targeting mobile banking customers, especially those using Android devices.

What Is the GodFather Trojan?

The GodFather trojan is a type of malicious software that impersonates legitimate apps, particularly banking apps, to steal sensitive information such as login credentials, account numbers, and personal data.

This malware often enters your device through:

Fake or look-alike apps
Phishing links sent via text or email
Malicious app updates

Once installed, GodFather may ask for excessive permissions. If granted, it gains full access to your phone, creates a hidden “virtual space,” and launches your actual banking app inside that environment. This allows cybercriminals to capture your login credentials in real-time, all without you noticing anything suspicious.

Who Is Being Targeted?

While any mobile device can be at risk, Android users are being targeted most often. The trojan is designed to impersonate real apps from trusted institutions, making it difficult to spot unless you know what to look for.

How to Stay Safe from the GodFather Trojan

Here are some important tips to protect yourself from this and other similar threats:

Avoid Clicking on Unsolicited Links

Even if a message or email looks legitimate, don’t click on any link you weren’t expecting. FNB will never send a link asking you to download an app or update personal information via text or email.

Only Use Official App Stores

Always download or update apps — especially financial ones — from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. These platforms screen apps for safety, reducing your risk of downloading malicious software.

Be Wary of App Permissions

Be cautious if an app asks for unusual or excessive permissions, especially right after installation. If something feels off, don’t grant the permissions — and delete the app.

Enable Multi-Factor Authentication

Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your banking and other important accounts. This adds an extra layer of protection even if your password is stolen.

Contact FNB If You’re Unsure

If you ever question the legitimacy of a message, app, or phone call, don’t take the risk — reach out to us directly. We’ll walk you through the process and help you download the correct FNB app securely.

Report Suspicious Activity Immediately

If you notice anything strange — such as unexpected logins, password changes, or texts you didn’t request — contact FNB right away so we can secure your account and take any necessary action.

Your Security Is Our Priority

The GodFather trojan is a sophisticated threat but staying vigilant and following a few simple guidelines can make all the difference. FNB is here to support you every step of the way — from spotting scams to downloading the correct mobile app safely. Call our Customer Support Center at 888-934-2536 if you have questions or think your device may be compromised.

Back-to-School Banking: Smart Ways to Prep for a New School Year

Written by Chelsea Culp on July 31, 2025. Posted in Money Matters.

Back-to-school season is an exciting (and sometimes hectic) time for families. Whether you’re buying backpacks for first graders or budgeting for a college move-in, a little financial planning can go a long way. At FNB, we’re here to help you head into the school year feeling organized, prepared, and financially confident. Here are a few smart tips to get your finances in top shape before the school bell rings:

Create a Back-to-School Budget

Start by making a list of expected expenses: school supplies, clothing, technology, activity fees, and more. Setting a budget early helps you prioritize needs vs. wants, avoid overspending, and find opportunities to save. Don’t forget to factor in lunch money, gas for school commutes, or increased daycare costs.

Pro Tip: Use FNB’s online budgeting tools to create customized spending categories and track purchases in real time: https://growwithfnb.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Household-Budget-Interactive.pdf.

Take Advantage of Tax-Free Weekends

Many states offer tax-free holidays for school-related purchases. Plan ahead to make the most of these weekends and stretch your budget further on clothing, shoes, and supplies. Check your state’s specific dates and qualifying items.

Set Up a Dedicated School Account

If you’re managing expenses for multiple kids or college students, consider opening a separate checking or savings account just for school-related costs. This helps you stay organized and monitor spending without mixing it with other household bills. Visit https://growwithfnb.com/personal-banking/ for more information on FNB’s checking and saving accounts or to open online today.

Enroll Kids & Teens in Financial Literacy Tools

Back-to-school is also a great time to teach kids and teens about money management. With Greenlight, powered by FNB Bank, you can give your child or teen a debit card with parental controls, while helping them learn how to budget, save, and spend wisely. FNB families get a FREE subscription to Greenlight. Learn more and get started here: https://growwithfnb.com/personal-banking/greenlight/.

Use Online & Mobile Banking for Convenience

Between school schedules, sports practices, and work, life gets busy. Make banking simpler with FNB’s mobile and online banking tools. Check balances, transfer funds, set up alerts, and pay bills – anytime, anywhere.
