According to the Federal Trade Commission, identity theft happens when someone steals your personal information and uses it without your permission. It’s a serious crime that can wreak havoc with your finances, credit history, and reputation – and can take time, money and patience to resolve. One way to deter criminals from stealing personal information is to shred confidential financial documents and paperwork.
Savings Bank representatives will be available to supply information about preventing identity theft and what to do if your identity is stolen.
