Your identity is in the mail
It turns out your greatest exposure
for identity theft is at your mailbox.
A study of Secret Service cases that
included components of identity
theft and identity fraud showed the
top two methods of identity theft
were re-routing of mail and mail
theft. When you weigh it all out,
you're better oˆ with electronically
delivered statements than a paper
copy that could end up in the wrong
hands. Paper statements can be
stolen, and they have to be stored
securely. When you want to get
rid of them, you have to shred or
destroy them, and that's a lot of
paper in the landfill.
On the other hand, eStatements are
password protected and can't be
seen by anyone who doesn't have
access to your accounts. When
you want to view your statement,
just log in to RCU online banking.
eStatements can be archived for up
to two years, and – the best part –
they're digital. When you don't need
them anymore, there's no shredding
and no landfill, so they're better for
the environment, too!

Actually, no.
