ATM Safety Tips
Guard Your Card & PIN.
Protect your ATM/debit card in the same way you would protect your cash, checks, and credit cards. Do not keep your PIN in your wallet, write it on your card, or share it with others.
Protect Your Privacy.
Be aware of others in line behind you at the ATM. Position yourself in front of the ATM keypad to prevent anyone from observing your PIN.
Be Prepared.
Have your card out and ready to use before approaching the ATM.
Stay Alert.
When using an ATM, be aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Park in a well-lit area and have someone accompany you. If you notice anything suspicious, use another ATM or come back later.
Use Caution at Drive-Up ATMs.
Remember to keep your doors locked, your other car windows up, and your car running.
Save Your Receipts.
Do not leave your receipt at the ATM. Remember to record each transaction and match it to your monthly statement.
Report Suspicious Behavior.
If you notice anything unusual while using the ATM, cancel your transaction, pocket your card, and leave immediately. Go to a safe place and call the police if you suspect dangerous or illegal activity.
