Artisans’ Bank Joins American Bankers Association and other Banks Across U.S. for #BanksNeverAskThat Anti-Phishing Campaign
|
|
Artisans’ Bank cares about your security. That’s why they joined the ABA to promote an industry-wide campaign educating consumers about the persistent threat of phishing scams. The FTC estimates that consumers lost $3.3 billion to phishing schemes and other fraud in 2020, nearly double the losses in 2019. To combat phishing, the #BanksNeverAskThat campaign uses attention-grabbing humor and other engaging content to empower consumers to identify bogus bank communications asking for sensitive information like their passwords and social security numbers.
Artisans’ Bank, along with banks across the country and ABA, are kicking off the campaign on Oct. 1 to mark the beginning of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Throughout the month, Artisans’ will have information in their branches and be sharing tips on social media to help consumers spot phishing schemes.

The Big Short(ages): The Northern Trust Economics Team Shares Its Outlook for the U.S. economy.
|
|
The Delta variant’s impact on supply chains and domestic spending slowed economic activity in the third quarter. Consumer confidence dipped noticeably, and businesses’ outlook dimmed somewhat. Rising inflation, the product of goods and labor shortages, has been a concern.
That said, the fundamentals remain strong. Economic output has returned to its pre-pandemic level. Household and business balance sheets are in good shape, and consumer savings are still elevated. An improving health situation should lead to renewed consumer buoyancy, and a resilient labor market recovery will underpin incomes amid reduced fiscal impulse.
Downside risks stem from the uncertainty around the fiscal situation in Washington, the path of the virus, and the possibility that supply constraints could linger for longer, weighing heavily on production and consumption.

It is one of the longest-standing corporate governance centers in academia, and the first and only corporate governance center in the State of Delaware.
Through the generosity of the center’s advisory board and friends of the center, the event will highlight Myron Steele’s years serving on and chairing the advisory board by establishing the Myron T. Steele Fellowship, which creates sustainable support for a fellow who will do research and scholarly work for the Weinberg Center.
Steele, the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Delaware, is a partner in Potter Anderson & Corroon's Corporate Litigation Group. Previously, he served as a Judge of the Superior Court and a Vice Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery after eighteen years in private litigation practice. He has presided over major corporate litigation and LLC and limited partner governance disputes, and writes frequently on issues of corporate document interpretation and corporate governance.

Troutman Pepper Insight: Gearing Up for Climate Disclosure
|
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters have become a focal point for investors and regulators. For financial institutions, and other companies, climate risk has become a key component, and an increasingly pressing area of consideration. Climate risk clearly constitutes the “E” in ESG, but it also has implications for the “G.” These issues frequently require boards of directors and management to adjust their oversight and risk management structures to account for climate considerations. |
