MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT REGARDING SUB PRIME LENDING. 03/20/2008 For over 100 years as your hometown bank, Bank of Akron has never participated in risky or sub prime lending practices, and that's because it's not good for our customers or our community. We are proud to promise that we will always provide the loan that is just right for you, your family or your business--one that is fair, safe and reasonable. Rest assured that we have no exposure to sub prime loans or investments, and are well positioned to withstand the turmoil of these uncertain economic times. You can trust in Bank of Akron as a safe and secure source of funds to meet the credit needs of the communities we serve. We invite you to see one of our friendly and knowledgeable loan officers. Thank you for

TRAVELING ABROAD? 04/24/2007 As part of our efforts to protect the security of your personal information, Bank of Akron has blocked debit and ATM transactions outside of the United States and Canada. Please stop by one of our offices if you will be traveling abroad. We can "enable" your individual card for foreign use while you are traveling and disable it when you return. IMPORTANT FRAUD NOTICE! (Please read)03/21/2007 There are currently several e-mails circulating that will appear to be from Bank of Akron. They make mention of "closed account surveys", "deactivation of your online account" and other seemingly threatening and urgent claims. The e-mail then directs you to click a link to correct the problem. If you click the link you will be taken to a fraudulent web site that looks just like our web site. At this point you are directed to enter personal information including credit card numbers, expiration dates, PINs, e-mail addresses, etc. The fraudsters will then use the collected information to steal your identity, your cash or both. You can be confident that Bank of Akron will never request your personal information or credit card numbers via e-mail. If you have accounts with us, we already have your information and will not request it again. We are dedicated to protecting the security of your personal information. Please be cautious while using the internet. The safest way to access the correct web site is by typing in the following address in your browsers
If you believe you have been the victim of fraud please contact Bank of Akron, immediately, at: (716) 542-5401
