Orrstown Bank Encourages Customers to Prevent a Holiday Spending Hangover

Shippensburg, PA (11/29/2010) – Orrstown Bank is kicking off the 2010 holiday shopping season with tips to manage holiday spending and avoid a post-holiday credit hangover.

“Consumers spreading holiday cheer should keep in mind that January bills are only a couple of months away,” says Gary Holder, SVP/Chief Retail Officer. “If consumers are not budgeting for their holiday purchases, people will find themselves bringing in the New Year with last year’s debt.”

Orrstown Bank recommends that customers manage their finances this holiday season with the following spending tips:

• Create a budget and stick to it. Set a dollar amount based on what you can afford this holiday season considering your current savings, income and other expenses. Be sure to include a $20 to $100 cushion for unexpected expenses.

• Make a list. Write down the names of the people you plan to buy gifts for and how much you can afford to spend on each person. Don’t forget to save some of your budget for expenses other than gifts including wrapping paper, cards and postage.

• Bake some cookies. That’s right, if you can’t afford to buy gifts for everyone on your list, bake some holiday goodies and wrap them in cellophane with a holiday bow. Handmade gifts are a special way to say ‘Happy Holidays’ without overspending. Be sure to include these costs in your budget.

• Use credit wisely. Your credit card balance shouldn’t be a complete surprise when you open your statement in January. Take only the credit cards you need when holiday shopping and try to use the card with the lowest interest rate.

• Save your receipts. Keep track of your expenses and add them up weekly to be sure you’re sticking to your budget. If you’re getting close to your spending limit, reevaluate your list and bake more cookies!

• Shop around. Start your holiday shopping early to give yourself time to comparison shop. Take time to do some research before you hit the stores by going online or looking at your local newspaper circulars.

“Holding true to one’s budget during the busy holiday season is an excellent jumpstart to healthy year-long budgeting habits,” said Holder.

Anyone who falls deep in debt and is late on their payments should inform creditors so they can work on a resolution plan with you. Banks and other lenders are often willing to help extend payment periods, consolidate debts or assist in refinancing.

A pattern of late payments in a credit report could make attaining future loans or credit difficult. Consumers in need of help with debt problems should contact the National Foundation for Credit Counseling at 1-800-388-2227.

Low Interest Rates at Orrstown Bank Make Home Ownership Possible

Philip Fague, EVP,
Mortgage & Consumer Business
Shippensburg, PA (11/5/2010) — With mortgage interest rates at their lowest levels since World War II, a plentiful housing stock and prices still low, buying a home may now be easier for many Americans than it has been in years.

“Buying a home is the single largest investment that most people will make in their lifetime,” said Philip Fague, Executive Vice President, Mortgage & Consumer Business. “So it’s important to take an honest look at your budget first to see what you can afford.”

Orrstown Bank recommends that potential buyers consider several important factors before deciding to buy a home:

• Review your finances. An honest analysis of your financial situation is central to the decision to buy. Calculate all your monthly expenses in addition to your potential mortgage payment, including homeowner’s insurance, taxes, condo fees and other obligations like car payments, credit card debt, and living expenses, including utilities and groceries. Consumers should anticipate and save for home maintenance costs as well.

• Check your credit score. Your credit history is another important factor when applying for a loan. Most lenders rely on the Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit score or the VantageScore when determining your qualifications for a loan. The score reflects how well you manage your debt and is calculated using data from your credit report. A low credit score will result in a higher interest rate on your loan. If your score is too low, you may not be approved for a loan at all. There are a number of things you can do to improve your credit score, including paying your bills on time, only opening lines of credit you need and keeping your credit card balances below half of your available credit.

• Factor in closing costs. Once you’ve found a home and agreed on a purchase price, there will be costs associated with closing the sale. These costs can vary widely and will depend on the purchase price of the home and whether a real estate attorney or title/escrow company will be involved in the transaction. By law, lenders are required to give you a written estimate of closing costs within three days of accepting your loan application.

Orrstown Bank Promotes National Protect Your Identity Week

Shippensburg, PA (October 15, 2010) – In recognition of National Protect Your Identity week on Oct. 17-22, Orrstown Bank is urging customers to pay particular attention to identity theft prevention.

“Orrstown Bank works diligently to protect our customers from identity theft,” said Jeff Embly, EVP and Chief Credit/Risk Officer. “We use a combination of safeguards to protect customer information, such as employee training, strict privacy policies, and rigorous security standards. But we can’t do it alone. Customers can help us protect them by following a few simple precautions.”

Orrstown Bank encourages customers to follow some simple steps to avoid becoming a victim:

• Shred or tear up statements and other personal information. Criminals may be able to get access to your accounts and personal information by “dumpster diving” (retrieving canceled checks, deposit receipts or bank statements from dumpsters or trash bins).

• Keep an eye out for any missing mail, particularly account statements and bills that do not arrive when expected.

• Review your monthly accounts regularly for any unauthorized charges through the Internet, phone or ATM statements.

• Order free copies of your credit report once a year from each of the credit reporting agencies to ensure accuracy. Go to the Federal Trade Commission’s authorized web site www.annualcreditreport.com for your free credit report.

• Choose to do business with companies you know are reputable, particularly online. When conducting business online, use firewalls, anti-spyware and anti-virus software and do not respond to unsolicited requests for personal information.

• Protect your PINs and passwords. Use a combination of letters and numbers for your passwords and change them periodically.

• Report any suspected fraud immediately to your bank and the fraud units of the three credit reporting agencies.

A special website is available that offers consumer tips, steps for victims and a state-by-state list of Protect Your Identity Week events. There’s also an online ID quiz that can help determine how prone one may be to identity theft. Click here to visit the site: http://www.protectyouridnow.org/.
