Think you can’t buy a home because you don’t have a large down payment saved?

Some buyers are surprised to learn there are programs* that may help with upfront costs. Depending on eligibility and program availability, options can include:

• Down payment assistance grants
• Forgivable assistance loans
• Gift funds from family
• Seller concessions to reduce closing costs
• First-time homebuyer programs through state housing agencies

For many buyers, upfront cash can be one of the biggest hurdles — even when monthly payments may fit their budget.

Every situation is different, but if you’ve been assuming homeownership is out of reach, it might be worth exploring what options could be available to you.

The most effective tool in a scammer's arsenal might not be technology. It might be your trust.

Social engineering scams are designed to manipulate people into taking an action they normally wouldn't, whether that's clicking a link, sharing login information, providing a one-time verification code, or sending money. Fraudsters may impersonate your bank or another trusted organization and use personal information, urgency, and increasingly sophisticated technology to make the situation feel legitimate.

Swipe through to learn how social engineering fraud works, some of the tactics scammers use, and red flags that can help you recognize when something isn't right.

Then, go deeper in our blog for more information about social engineering scams and practical steps you can take to help protect yourself and your business.

Paying bills can mean due dates to remember, websites to visit, and payments to keep track of. There’s an easier way to stay organized.

With First Mid's Online Bill Pay, you can manage payments directly from your First Mid account:

✓ Choose who to pay, how much, and when
✓ Schedule one-time or recurring payments
✓ View upcoming payments and payment history
✓ Skip writing checks or visiting multiple websites

And unlike automatic payments, you decide when your Bill Pay payments are sent.
