Citizens First Bank continues to raise consumer awareness of identity theft and fraud
Clinton, March, 2016: Citizens First Bank will provide free personal document shredding to the community on Saturday, April 16th. The event will take place from 9:00am-11:00am at Citizens First Bank’s office at 1442 Lincoln Way, Clinton. Watch for signs and traffic direction.
Citizens First Marketing Director, Paula Mayer, says identity theft and fraud protection is as important as locking the doors to your house or vehicle. According to Mayer, “Identity theft and fraud are constant challenges and we plan to maintain this as an ongoing event to help the community we serve. We are helping consumers learn how to protect themselves, and at the same time, helping them get rid of any documents containing personal information. Participants will be able to watch their sensitive documents being shredded on the spot.”
The community is welcome to bring their personal data for confidential destruction. Anything that may contain personal identifying information such as Social Security numbers, address, date of birth or passwords should be shredded to avoid personal issues such as identity theft or fraud. Types of items that should be shredded include: cancelled checks; check registers; bank statements or receipts; loan documents; mortgage documents; brokerage statements; school records; credit card, mortgage and finance solicitations; credit card statements, contracts, personal business papers, and credit applications. This service is intended for individuals, no businesses please.
Citizens First Bank has been offering this very important service to the community for the past twelve years.
