ATM Tips
Using an ATM is a convenient way to conduct financial transactions but you need to use caution to ensure your account is secure.
Take the steps to protect yourself:
- Be aware of your surroundings when entering your PIN and do not disclose your PIN to anyone
- Cover the key pad when you enter your PIN
- Be mindful of people trying to distract you
- Immediately report lost or stolen credit/debit cards
- Check your account statements monthly and report any discrepancies
- If you discover anything at a banking machine that looks suspicious (a card skimmer, for example), notify your bank immediately or contact the police for assistance
- Make sure to check your credit history by contacting a national credit-reporting agency
