April is Community Banking Month, and Citizens National Bank is seizing the moment to promote identity theft awareness.
Citizens National Bank is holding their second "Shred Day", inviting members of the community to branches across the region to bring in documents that may contain personal information to be shredded. The banks will collect items like paycheck stubs, credit card info, and any other documents you feel may contain personal information that someone could use to steal your identity, something that can have long-lasting effects on your finances.
"It's very important to shred sensitive information. You wouldn't want a fraudster to obtain that and create fraudulent accounts. It's basically to safeguard your personal information. It can possibly ruin credit and have repercussions in the future,"
You can drop off your documents and pick up some cake while you're at it, at the branches in Lima, Elida, Bluffton, Findlay, Van Wert, Celina, and Defiance. The bank will be accepting documents throughout regular business hours.
