The Village Bank is proud to announce we have earned the AARP’s award-winning BankSafe Trained seal for the second consecutive year in recognition of the training and policies we have in place to better protect older Americans from financial exploitation.

The Bank is one of 167 financial institutions to earn the 2024 seal, which certifies that employees have completed a training program focused on protecting customers from fraud and other financial exploitation. To qualify, institutions must train at least 80 percent of their front-line employees through the BankSafe platform, which uses videos and other exercises that help identify red flags and stop financial exploitation before it happens.

A study last year found that at least $28 billion is stolen from United States citizens over 60 each year. One of The Village Bank’s top priorities is to protect customers from these serious incidents. To learn more about the BankSafe seal, visit aarp.org/banksafe.
