Scam Alert: Spoofing Scams on the Rise!
We want to make you aware—while our bank is not currently being targeted, scammers are impersonating financial institutions and contacting people via phone, email, and text. Don't share personal info — verify before responding. Stay alert and contact us if unsure.
We are thrilled to announce the winners of our local "Lights, Camera, Save!" Video Contest!

Being the first year Bank of Prairie du Sac served as a host bank for the American Bankers Association's (ABA's) video contest for teens, we were delighted to receive quality submissions and look forward to continuing to expand on this and other financial literacy efforts in the future.
As the winner of our local competition, Tamara's video advances to American Bankers Association (ABA) for the video contest's second round and national competition. Good luck!
Below is a summary of upcoming dates for the contest. All selection specifics can be found under the “Selection of Winners” section on the ABA’s “Lights, Camera, Save!” Official 2024 Rules webpage.
Preliminary Round winning videos will be posted in pairs of two (2) to ABA's official Instagram account at “@americanbankersassociation”
Each Video that receives the most votes in each two-way face-off will advance to the Final Round.
American Bankers Association (ABA) Foundation and bankers across the country (including Bank of Prairie du Sac) want to empower teens to educate their peers about the value of good money habits. So, ABA Foundation created an annual contest that runs through local banks like us!
To enter, students between 13 and 18 years of age can submit a 30-second, self-made video to Bank of Prairie du Sac. We will choose three (3) local winners to receive $50 (third place), $75 (2nd place) and $100 (1st place). Plus, our local first-place winner will then be submitted to the national contest for a chance to win one of three cash prizes – worth $9,000 in total!
