First Dakota announces Shred Day TODAY!

Identity Theft remains one of the fastest-growing crimes in the United States. It has been ranked one of the top consumer concerns for several years. First Dakota National Bank wants to help by giving you the opportunity to shred any personal information free of charge. Please plan to participate in our annual Shred Day on Wednesday, April 29 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at 1800 Summit Street (parking lot across from the Yankton High School).

Dakota Data Shred from Sioux Falls will take care of the shredding. Remember, when you throw something in the trash, it is available to anyone willing to overlook your trash’s disgusting smells and textures. So, a good rule of thumb is anything that has a signature, account number, social security number, or medical and legal information should be shredded. Here are a few more suggestions: address labels from junk mail and magazines, ATM receipts, bank statements, copies of birth certificates, canceled and voided checks, credit card bills, investment documents, employee pay stubs, employment records, college IDs, pre-approved credit card applications, receipts with checking account numbers, report cards, resume’s, tax forms, used airline tickets and utility bills.

Keep your identity safe and mark your calendar for Shred Day at First Dakota.
