Great post from Javelin, with a simple message. 

Javelin Strategy and Research » Here’s a lousy idea: banks offering a “shred day”

Bankers, don’t undermine your safety and marketing efforts. …… why in the world should my customers be advised to destroy what they can eliminate?

Apparently a couple of Bankshad a “shred day” where they invited customers to bring in paper documents, statements etc, to have them shredded in the interests of security. 

Relevance to Bankwatch:
Online banking is having to be continually defended for security reasons, yet its much simpler for criminals to steal identity using things in your mailbox.
