Voided Check Shredding & Disposal for East Bay Area Businesses & Individuals

As more people move towards digital transactions, voided checks may seem like a relic of the past. However, it’s important to ensure that voided checks are properly disposed of to prevent identity theft or fraud. We’ve got you covered if you’re searching for a reliable and secure voided check shredding company in the East Bay area.

Why should I shred voided checks?

Voided checks contain sensitive information, including your name, account number, and routing number. This information can be used to steal your identity or commit fraud. By shredding your voided checks, you can ensure that this information is securely destroyed and cannot be used by anyone else. Additionally, shredding voided checks is a way to protect yourself from
accidental disclosure of sensitive information. 

How long should you keep voided checks?

It’s important to keep voided checks for a certain period of time, but not indefinitely. Generally, you should keep voided checks for at least three years. This is because checks can be used as proof of payment or to reconcile bank statements. After three years, it’s safe to shred them.

However, keep in mind that the timeline for keeping voided checks may vary based on your specific circumstances and the requirements of your bank. For example, if you need voided checks for tax purposes or legal documentation, you may need to keep them for a longer period of time.

It’s always a good idea to check with your bank or a financial advisor to determine how long you should keep your voided checks based on your situation. That being said, it’s important to properly dispose of any voided checks you no longer need by shredding them to protect your personal and financial information from potential identity theft or fraud.
