Today is National Slam the Scam Day. At First State Bank & Trust, protecting your financial security is our top priority.

If you ever receive a suspicious call or message, hang up and report it immediately! Stay safe with these tips: ?? Never share your personal information over the phone unless you're sure of the caller's identity. ?? Be cautious of unsolicited emails, texts, or calls from "official" sources. ??
