New product to help small business owners combat fraud, alleviate document shredding

If you’re a small business owner, you probably have a basket, drawer, or maybe even a corner on the floor, where you pile all your “to be shredded” papers. And the pile grows while you promise yourself you will take an entire afternoon to stare at the shredder and listen to its loud grinds and growls. Well, if shredding isn’t your thrill of the day, keep your eyes out for a service that may soon be near you. Two companies are coming together to launch what they are calling, “Intelligent ShredStation secure document disposal vaults, the world’s first online information disposal box to help combat identify theft.” The whole idea is to give people like you a place to bring your shredibles. USA Technologies teamed up with ShredStation to create these vaults equipped with cashless payment technology. They will be located nationwide, including stationary stores, overnight shipping centers, banks, grocery stores, copying centers and office building lobbies. Here’s how it works: Customers seal their sensitive documents in a secure ShredStation envelope, which can hold up to two pounds of material. The sealed envelope is inserted in the ShredStation vault that is similar in size and shape to a FedEx or DHL drop box. The customer swipes their credit card at the e-Port reader, pays $5.00, activates the ShredStation, and receives a receipt. Customers can receive a Certificate of Destruction via text message or email to let them know when the documents are shredded. The innovators of this product hope this will allow small business owners a secure and fast way to shred their personal documents quickly and in a cost-effective manner. 10 application/xml false combat fraud document shredding help small business identity theft identity theft assistance new product small business small business owners Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 cmalmstrom false true false false true 189572 false false true false false false true 149173 blog blogsite/FreedomVoice/web
