Delaware County holds a special place in our hearts at Wayne Bank, as it’s home to five of our branches in the towns of Andes, Roxbury, Franklin, Stamford, and Walton, NY.

World Book Day began on April 23, 1995, to honor the deaths of famous authors, celebrate the power of literacy, and encourage interest in reading and literature. Thirty-one years later, the special day is celebrated by over one hundred countries and paired with an annual theme. This year, that theme is “Go all in.”

April is Financial Literacy Month: a time dedicated to building awareness, confidence, and better habits when it comes to managing your money. Whether you’re just starting your financial journey or looking to strengthen your current habits, having the right tools can make all the difference. Understanding where your money goes, setting realistic goals, and creating a plan can help you feel more in control of your finances—today and in the future.

Scams are becoming more sophisticated, more personal, and more convincing than ever before. Fraudsters are learning how to sound legitimate, friendly, and even helpful, often pretending to be someone you trust. At Wayne Bank, we believe the best defense against fraud is knowledge, awareness, and open communication.
