#BanksNeverAskThat and #PracticeSafeChecks: Free consumer education programs open to all banks!

#BanksNeverAskThat

Together, we can turn everyday consumers into Scam Slayers — people who are confident in their ability to spot scams, protect their money and help others fight fraud.

Empower your customers to recognize scams before they become victims. When you register below, you’ll get access to social media content, educational and entertaining videos, printable flyers, digital graphics and other turnkey resources you can use to educate customers on the warning signs of fraud and the steps they can take to stay protected.

#PracticeSafeChecks

Help your customers understand the tactics scammers use to steal, tamper with and fabricate fake checks. Using social media content, educational and entertaining videos, digital graphics and other turnkey resources, you can give customers best practices for writing and sending checks safely — and remind them about the information that’s at risk every time they write a check.

Register to get involved!

Registration is free for all banks and state association members regardless of ABA membership status. If you’ve participated in the past, please register again to access the 2026 campaign!

Once registered, we will email you a link to access the campaign materials. There’s one easy-to-access toolkit for both campaigns, and all the materials — and both campaign websites — are available in both English and Spanish.
