UNION Savings BANK Social Media Community Guidelines

Effective July 11, 2019

UNION Savings BANK is here to create a social media channel to encourage discussion and cultivate a positive community. If you post anything you are agreeing to follow the UNION Savings BANK Social Media Guidelines as well as Facebook’s terms of service.

Our Facebook page is public, which means that anyone can see your posts on Facebook and your posts may even show up in search-engine results (like on Google or Yahoo!). While we want to foster healthy discussion, we may occasionally remove posts that don't fit our community guidelines.

Because our Facebook page is a public page and anyone can participate, we cannot be responsible for views expressed other than our own.
  • We encourage everyone to:
    Stay on topic, use common courtesy and be respectful of others.
  • Submit your own original content, and avoid content that you know to be fraudulent.
  • Do not post someone else's copyrighted work unless you have permission.
  • Never post personal, identifying, or confidential information
Customer Service Inquiries
Our Facebook is not the right place for customer service inquiries. If you need help with your account, please call a local branch or our customer service department at (815)-235-0800. If you need help finding a local branch or a phone number, visit our website at www.unionsavingsbank.com and select Locations.
