Even while using safe payment options, monitoring bank and credit card statements is a must. It's always a smart decision to check your accounts for unrecognized payments. If you do notice a suspicious payment, make sure to contact your bank or credit card company immediately.

Our 2nd tip for the week is to choose safe payment options. Credit cards offer consumer protection while 3rd-party payment options are especially safe bc you don't give the retailer your credit/debit card information. Consider using these options when shopping this season!

This week we're sharing tips on staying safe while online shopping. Follow these 5 tips to keep your accounts safe. The first tip is to think before you click. If you think it's too good to be true, it probably is! Make sure you report anything suspicious as spam or phishing.

Thanks to @RiverCityCo for reigniting #Grateful! The TEC team (including @TechGoesHomeTN & @Chattamatters ) had a great time volunteering (& then eating) 😉
