CONJURE UP FINANCIAL SUCCESS


Don’t Let Year-End Sneak Up on You 

  1. Keep Cash Flow Steady
    Revisit your financial goals, update your budget, and use tools like Online Banking, account alerts, and automatic transfers to manage income, cover bills, and maintain a healthy balance through end-of-year.
  2. Max Out Tax-Advantaged Accounts
    Check your contributions to your IRA or Health Savings Account (HSA) to make the most of tax benefits before the deadline.
  3. Strengthen Your Credit & Debt Strategy
    Review your credit report, pay down high-interest balances, or consolidate debt with a personal loan to start 2026 on stronger financial footing.


October is Cybersecurity Month

  1. Protect Your Information
    Never share your passwords, PINs, or one-time codes, even if someone claims to be from your bank. Harmony bankers will never call or text asking for your online passwords.
  2. Beware of Phishing 
    Don’t click unknown links, scan unsolicited QR codes, or trust unsolicited calls that request sensitive information. Remain cautious of anyone who asks your personal details.
  3. Report Anything Suspicious
    Notify your bank immediately of any suspicious activity. Remember, if it feels off or too good to be true, it probably is — trust your instincts and stay vigilant.

Keep Seasonal Cash Flow from Haunting Your Business

  1. Maintain Stable Cash Flow
    Seasonal fluctuations can create cash flow challenges; having a steady cash flow is essential for covering expenses, paying employees, and keeping your business running smoothly throughout the year.
  2. Utilize a Business Line of Credit
    A business line of credit provides flexible borrowing options that you can access whenever you need them. This helps manage cash flow gaps during peak seasons or when facing unexpected expenses, ensuring your business remains resilient.
  3. Smooth Seasonal Transitions
    By leveraging a line of credit, you can navigate seasonal changes with confidence. It offers the financial stability needed to handle fluctuations, so seasonal shifts don’t disrupt your growth or potential.
