Jennings, LA – JD Bank has received an unexpected financial gift from the employees and directors of Houston-based Allegiance Bank. The gift is intended to help JD Bank staff impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Laura.

“On behalf of the employees of JD Bank who have suffered both property and emotional distress resulting from Hurricane Laura, we are so grateful for the donation and for the words of encouragement we’ve received from Allegiance Bank employees,” said Bruce W. Elder, President and CEO of JD Bank.

The Allegiance Bank gift comes in the spirit of paying it forward. In 2017, Connecticut based Bankwell Bank
presented a financial gift to Allegiance Bank following the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in Houston. In making the gift, Allegiance Bank Chairman Steve Retzloff said, “Paying their generosity forward to assist the impacted employees of JD Bank at this time is but one more example that together community banks do make a difference in the lives we touch. To that purpose we are indeed united. Thank you JD Bank for all you do for southern Louisiana.”

According to Allegiance Bank, JD Bank was chosen to receive this gift by an Allegiance team for representing the values that uphold the deeper meaning of being a community bank. “We look forward to the opportunity for JD Bank to pay this generosity forward ourselves,” said Elder.

During this unprecedented time, JD Bank wants you to beware of scams.

During this unprecedented time, JD Bank wants you to beware of scams.

Small business owners often get calls, emails or letters from entities with motives that are far from altruistic. During the past few months, there has been a significant increase in the number of scammers trying to take advantage of businesses and individuals in light of the economic assistance coming from the Federal government. 

A good thing to keep in mind is that, “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.” The SBA doesn’t offer grants to small business owners. Help from a particular business won’t increase your chances of getting government contracts. You don’t have to pay to register in System for Award Management (SAM). Scammers are getting sneakier all the time, but you can still outsmart them.

Your government – federal, state, and local – is the best source of legitimate information. While government and government-funded entities may charge fees for training and services, they will be very clear about why they are charging the fees.

If you have a question about someone contacting you, keep some things in mind.

  • Don’t release any private information (especially Social Security numbers, credit card information, or banking information) in response to an unsolicited call, letter, or email.
  • Contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) for more information on a company before you commit to anything.
  • Contact your state’s Attorney General’s office.
  • Do a reverse search of the phone number on the internet – you’ll often find that several people have listed the number as belonging to scammers. Ask for the number if you don’t have caller ID.

Here are some tips that should help.

  • Legitimate government entities will have websites and emails that end with .gov such as https://sba.gov.
  • Search “scam” or “scams” on https://sba.gov. You’ll find many of the scams that we already know exist.
  • Report scams. Report to the BBB and to the Attorney General. If someone purports to be affiliated with the SBA, contact your SBA office.
  • Contact your SBA office if you’re not sure how to apply for small business certification programs or have other questions pertaining to your small business. We’ll do our best to help and we won’t charge you anything!

JD Bank wants to protect you and your business. It is important not to allow funds to be deposited into your account on behalf of someone else. You should NEVER share your account number, personal identification number (PIN) or password with anyone. Our team is here to help you, feel free to reach out to your local branch if you have questions about your account or if something or someone gives you cause for concern.
