Protecting Your Personal Information

With identity theft on the rise, it’s more important than ever to protect your personal information, including your Social Security number, bank account information, credit card numbers and more.

There are a number of steps you can take to keep your personal information private. One easy thing you can do is to keep your Social Security card stored in a locked fire-proof safe. Never carry your Social Security card in your wallet.

You should also shred documents containing any important information in a confetti-cut shredder. Bank statements, bills, credit card offers and more should be shredded.

Protecting yourself from identity theft is easy. Take the necessary precautions today.
