October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Avoid falling victim to fraud. With our world’s reliance on technology, it’s important to keep yourself informed of the latest cyber scams. Chances are, you’ve already been a target of a cybercriminal or fraudster. One common type of fraud is referred to as Social Engineering. 

Social engineering is a technique used to manipulate a victim into disclosing information or taking a specific action. Fraudsters will communicate with an intended target by saying they are from a trusted organization or financial institution.  They may even impersonate someone the target knows.

As a homebuyer, you know that the road to closing can be full of twists and turns. However, when working with Commerce Bank of Wyoming, we strive to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible. One way to ensure a speedy closing is by following some key tips that we have compiled for you. Following these tips will save you not only time but also potential headaches. Read on to learn what you can do to help your loan closing go smoothly.

Buying a home is a huge financial decision, one that can have an impact on your finances for years to come. One of the choices you'll have to make when taking out a mortgage loan is whether or not to pay points. Points are basically a fee you pay to the lender at closing in exchange for a lower interest rate on your mortgage. In this blog post, we’ll break down the pros and cons of paying points on your mortgage to help you make an informed decision.

When you're in the market for a mortgage, your credit information is obtained through a "hard inquiry" which is then shared with credit bureaus. This information is then sold to creditors or insurers to make unsolicited offers, which can be overwhelming for homebuyers. These unsolicited offers are known as trigger leads and they can lead to an endless amount of unwanted solicitations. In this blog post, we will explain what trigger leads are and how to protect yourself from unsolicited offers.
