Security Scott returns in....SCAMS.
Unfortunately scammers have gotten more sophisticated and can "spoof" phone numbers making it appear they're coming from someone you know and trust. Remember, Ent will never ask for your PIN number, your online banking username OR your password.
We want you to stay safe! #sharkweek

Ent's Money Insight | Getting Started With Accounts
We know buying your first home can feel overwhelming, and you may not know terms like "escrow". What do they all mean?
Escrow, for example, is typically used for two reasons:
1) To protect the buyer’s good faith deposit so the money goes to the right party according to the conditions of the sale.
2) To hold a homeowner’s funds for taxes and insurance.
Because of the different purposes it serves, there are two types of escrow accounts. One is used during the home buying process, while the other is used throughout the life of your loan.

Let's shred!
One of your most requested events has returned...we're holding a Shred Day at our Wilcox Service center in Castle Rock next Saturday, 9/26. Located at 190 S. Wilcox Street, you can bring up to two bankers boxes from 9 a.m. to Noon for shredding.
Shredding documents like bank statements, old tax returns, credit card offers, etc. helps keep your personal information safe.
As we schedule more Shred Days, we will keep everyone posted here and on our website at Ent.com/Events so always check to find out the most up to date information.
It's fun to splurge on treats once in a while, but you can avoid the mistake of not paying yourself by setting up a recurring auto-transfer that works with your salary to easily build your savings.

Ent Credit Union I just wanted to share how much my daughter enjoys your commercials. They stop her in her tracks every time.
We know it's Election Day, but it's also #NationalSandwichDay! It's important to separate out expenses so you can pay everything, but still have enough to do things that make you happy - without overspending.
Being your own boss can be great, but how does it affect buying a home? If you're self-employed, you may qualify with one year of tax returns showing at least 12 months of income. Your debt-to-income ratio must also meet lender guidelines.
If you have questions, we have answers! Register for our FREE Homebuyer webinar this Sat. Nov. 7 at https://bit.ly/3kPTESc or visit Ent.com/Mortgage.

DON'T BE FOOLED! Unfortunately scammers don't take a holiday break. We've had reports of scammers spoofing Ent phone numbers and/or texting members to attempt to gain personal information.

✔️We will not use "Ent Federal Credit Union" or "ENT Credit Union" (we don't use the word "federal" or all caps)
✔️Always call our main number (800) 525-9623 to double check an unsolicited message to check validity, do not call the number in the text/email
✔️Remember that Ent will NEVER ask you for:
- PIN number
- Online banking username and password.
- CVV2 code
- Full Social Security number
- Verification code

Sometimes debt can actually be part of your financial wellbeing by taking away stress if something unexpected comes up. A personal loan can help you get back on track and pay for things such as:
• Refinancing credit card debt
• Consolidating multiple types of debt
• Making a large purchase
• Wedding expenses
• Paying for a funeral
• Emergencies (medical, dental, family, pets)
• Financing home improvements
• Moving expenses
