Western Kentucky — Four local community banks, Community Financial Services Bank (CFSB), First Kentucky Bank, FNB Bank and The Murray Bank, are joining forces to launch an initiative to educate and protect their customers from fraud. Through a joint social media campaign titled Community Banks Fighting Fraud, the banks aim to raise awareness about common fraud strategies and provide essential tips for safeguarding financial information.

The campaign will kick off on Friday, November 29, 2024, with a holiday-themed series designed to equip customers with the knowledge to detect and prevent fraud during the busiest shopping season. This initial five-week series will post every Friday on the social media channels of each participating bank. By working together, these banks hope to deliver a unified message: fraud prevention is a shared responsibility, and simple precautions can make a world of difference.

The Community Banks Fighting Fraud campaign will cover a range of important topics, including holiday-specific scams, phishing, digital banking safety, and tips for small businesses. The series will continue into 2025 with additional educational resources, empowering customers to stay vigilant and informed year-round.

By pooling resources and expertise, CFSB, FNB Bank, First Kentucky Bank, and The Murray Bank are demonstrating the strength of community banks working together for the good of their customers. This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to keeping customers’ financial security at the forefront, especially during the holiday season when fraud attempts typically increase.

Community Banks Fighting Fraud will be exclusively featured on the social media channels of CFSB, FNB Bank, First Kentucky Bank, and The Murray Bank. Each post in the series will provide easy-to-understand strategies for fraud prevention, empowering customers with actionable steps to secure their accounts.

This collaborative effort reflects the dedication of these community banks to serve as trusted financial partners, prioritizing both customer education and proactive fraud prevention measures.
