Venmo is a third-party social payment app you can use to exchange funds with people and businesses. Unlike Zelle, which is offered in the Core Bank mobile app, Venmo functions as a digital wallet, allowing you to accrue money in your Venmo account to pay for future purchases. You can access your Venmo account using the mobile app or Venmo’s website.
Community banks like Core Bank take in deposits and distribute loans that feed into a self-sustaining micro-economy and keep funds right here in Omaha. It is all part of a symbiotic relationship that community banks have with their communities. And the proceeds from those businesses employ residents, fund municipalities, and continue the cycle of locally based economic growth.
Opening a savings account is crucial to financial fitness. When saving money for different financial goals, it’s important to consider where to keep it.

Those may be appropriate options when saving for short-term needs, such as an emergency fund.
Remote deposit capture (RDC) is a service that allows bank customers to scan or capture images of check deposits and present them electronically to the bank of first deposit without having to physically deliver the paper check to the bank.

How much time do you spend on your finances each week? Stay on track with your financial goals in the new year by taking these steps which may also help you better prepare for the future.
