HOLIDAY SHOPPING TIPS Holiday shopping may look a little different this year, with many consumers - like you - opting to skip crowded stores and long lines in favor of shopping virtually. However, online shopping can be just as overwhelming and financially straining as any in-store Black Friday sale. That’s why United Bank wants to help you protect your wallet while also putting the magic back into this holiday shopping season. Check out these tips to enjoy a fun, safe holiday shopping experience: Keep your computers and mobile devices up to date. Having the latest security software, web browser and operating system are the best defenses against viruses, malware and other online threats. Set a budget. The most helpful step in planning your holiday shopping adventures is to establish a realistic budget based on your current cash flow and financial obligations. Make a list. Know who you are shopping for and how much of your budget you want to allocate to each person. Keep mailing costs in mind. Be sure to order your gifts far enough ahead of time so that you don’t have to pay for expensive overnight shipping.
