The Answer

With identity theft a constant risk, it’s important to make sure all documents containing personal information are properly disposed of. For the most part, that means you’ve got to take care of any identifying bits of data.

This Saturday, October 17th, First Bank & Trust is holding a Shredding Day. Bring your personal documents (up to 25 pounds worth) and watch as they turn it into unidentifiable confetti. The bank is located at 8407 Skokie Blvd, and will run from 11 AM to 1 PM. Keep your identity safe!
