Free Community Shred Days Scheduled
Each of Prevail Bank’s nine locations will be holding a Free Community Shred Day Event for paper documents. Everyone is invited to participate.
In addition to providing an identity theft safeguard, Prevail Bank will also donate $1 for each pound of paper shredded, up to $1,000 each at each location, for the benefit of a local nonprofit chosen by that Branch.

From an identity theft perspective, shredding confidential information is strongly recommended. According to the IdentityTheft.org, the number of identity theft scenarios in the U.S. is nearly three times higher than that of other countries. Consumers aged 30–30 were the most victimized, followed by those 40–49. People need to safeguard their personal information. Credit monitoring and identity theft restoration services do exist. More information relating to those services can be acquired through a Prevail Bank professional.
