Protecting Yourself Against Fraud Don t think it could happen to you? Think again. No one is immune to being a victim of fraud; criminals are always finding innovative ways to steal your money. In this seminar, we will cover the single most common form of fraud that Bank of Hawaii has seen committed against our customers: Advance Fee Fraud Schemes. This type of fraud hasmany variations, like lotterywinnings winnings, the transferof hidden funds, andunexpected inheritances, which are just a few of the countless ways this scheme is perpetrated. Did you know one of the most common forms of this scam victimizes people that sell goods through classified ads or places them for sale on online auction sites?

As an added bonus, all attendees will receive a free book about protecting oneself from various forms of fraud and information theft. (Books available only while supplies last).

4 4. The ABC s of Credit (90 minute course, inclusive of Q&A) We use it to buy homes and cars, amongst other things, or as a convenient cash alternative. But, do you really know what credit is? What does your credit report tell your creditors, even potential employers, and why does it matter? In this seminar, you ll learn the answers to those questions, as well as how to ensure that you build or maintain a good credit score. You ll also learn how to get your credit lines back under your control, or, if that s too overwhelming, where to find help. While every credit situation is unique, The ABC s of Credit will provide you with a foundation of knowledge so that you can take control of one of your most important financial assets your credit worthiness. Understand the basics of credit Understand credit reporting, credit scoring, and the importance of having a good credit history Know what to do if credit problems occur 5. The Basics of Banking Some people save money in a shoe box while others use a piggy bank. But eventually, a shoe box or piggy bank fills up and you re faced with several choices. You can either get a new shoe box or piggy bank, stop saving or open a bank account. This basic workshop will explore various deposit products offered at a bank including what s needed to open an account and how to manage it to avoid embarrassment. The objective of this seminar is to familiarize i you with the different types of products offered so that you ll be able to select the services that best suits your needs. The types of deposit products and services that banks offer What a checking account is and how to use it What a debit card is and how to use it Managing a checking account How to avoid overdraft fees 6. Saving For Retirement (90 minute course, inclusive of Q&A) Recent studies have suggested that most Americans aren t putting enough money away for retirement. Combine that lack ofsaving with recent volatility in the financial markets, and many people may approach retirement age and realize that they won t be able to retire after all. Successful retirement planning basically boils down to 3 choices: Work longer, spend less, or save more. The truth is, sometimes we can t work longer due to declining health or a job loss. And sometimes we can t spend less, particularly in the early years of retirement, due to long term debt commitments, such as mortgages or home equity lines of credit. So this seminar session focuses on that third factor: saving enough during our working years for a comfortable retirement. This seminar is meant for those with at least seven or more years until reaching their desired retirement age. Those on the cusp of imminent retirement should visit their financial advisor for individualized advice. Find out why you should begin saving for retirement early Learn calculations that can help you determine how much to save Understand the benefits of tax advantaged retirement accounts Understand the importance of protecting yourself against risk
5 7. Pathway to Homeownership for First Time Homebuyers Your friends, family, co workers and even the news media are still saying that now is the time to buy a home, especially if you ve never owned one before. The availability of homes on the market and low mortgage rates could make this the right time for you to buy your first home. Where do you start? How much can you afford? What do all those strange words that only get used during a real estate transaction mean? This Pathways to Homeownership seminar should help you answer those questions and more. While this seminar is designed for first time home buyers, this may also be a good refresher for those who haven t been through the home buying process in awhile. The pre approval process and why it s important How to find the home that s right for you How to get the financing you need 8. How to Write a Successful Business Plan Thinking about starting your own business? If so, having a business plan is critical. It is your map that will help guide your company small or large.
