April in Durand

We enjoyed our time at the D.A.R.T.S Home Show in April at Durand High School. Thanks for stopping by our booth!

Annual Women's Breakfast

We had staff from several of our locations attend the Belvidere Area Chamber of Commerce 2023 Annual Women's Breakfast. They heard about meaningful ways to support our coworkers, the hard work that is going on at the Belvidere School District, and personal health tips!

Shred Day

We hosted a Shred Day event at our Durand Location on April 26th! We are happy to report that we produced 2300 lbs of shredding! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Shred Day Event! 

Illinois Bankers Association

On March 28th, around 100 bankers joined the Illinois Bankers Association in Springfield, and worked with lawmakers and regulators at the annual Economic Investment Day (EID). I spy our President and CEO, Betsy Johnson... 😀

The banking industry has been in the news lately. Here's what you need to know: Solutions Bank is a community bank, strictly regulated and we have ample resources to serve our customers, both in deposit and loan services. Our customers can confidently bank with us – and other local community banks!

EID is not only about giving bankers a voice in state government, but also about our customers and ensuring they can confidently access the banking options they need.

Jeans for a Cause

We awarded The Oscar Mike Foundation a check for the funds raised from our Jeans for a Cause fundraiser. Thank you, Oscar Mike Foundation, for all that you do to help keep disabled veterans "On-the-Move!"

Keep Your Money Safe

Hackers and scammers are always looking for ways to get access to your important information, but multifactor authentication (MFA) can make that more difficult for the scammers to do so and also keeps your information safer. Here is what you need to know about multifactor authentication (MFA):

• MFA is an added layer of security.
• MFA makes stealing your information harder.
• The most popular methods of MFA are challenge questions and one-time passcodes sent to you via text, phone call, or email.
• MFA is becoming more and more popular so most platforms have it as an option to use as an additional layer of security.

Bottom line, if you have the option to add multifactor authentication security – do it. It is essential for secure data storage and reduces you risk of getting your important information stolen.
