In letters sent to Governor Jim Pillen, Attorney General Mike Hilgers, Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance Director Kelly Lammers, Nebraska Legislature’s Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee and the Nebraska State Patrol, the NBA shared how the banking industry is working to combat phishing schemes through the #BanksNeverAskThat campaign. The campaign, spearheaded by the American Bankers Association (ABA), helps banks educate their customers about phishing scams and common fraud tactics. Participants in this free campaign have access to a toolkit that includes graphics, social media posts, digital signage, printables and more. New this year are Spanish-language resources. All resources are free, and banks do not have to be an ABA member to participate.  Last week, the NBA joined local bankers to engage University of Nebraska at Kearney College of Business and Technology (CBT) students in discussions about careers in banking during a Meet the Bankers event. The NBA also staffed a booth in the CBT lobby and provided coffee and donuts to students. The event concluded with a pizza lunch. Thank you to the bankers who attended! This event was part of the Bank On Your Future initiative, a comprehensive campaign aimed at addressing the workforce needs of Nebraska's banking sector and promoting banking as the industry of choice for a broader and more diverse group of young Nebraskans.
