Scams targeting seniors, the disabled or medically recovering are on the rise. Elder fraud alone rose 37% from 2024 to 2025 and financial scam losses exceeding $7.7 billion were filed by adults 60 and over, according to a report by the FBI.

So, what can we do to respect our loved one’s independence and help protect them from fraudsters? This bank offers a secure feature that can accomplish these goals.

“Caregiving Banking,” offered at Huntington Bank, provides account owners the ability to maintain legal control while they grant trusted individuals limited access to their accounts.
