ATM Safety Tips

  • Protect your ATM card and keep it in a safe place, just like you would cash, credit cards or checks.

  • Keep your Personal Identification Number (PIN) a secret. Never write it down anywhere, especially on your ATM card.

  • Never give any information about your ATM card or PIN over the telephone.

  • When using an ATM, be aware of your surroundings, suspicious persons or circumstances.  Do not use the machine at that time.

  • Be careful that no one can see you enter your PIN at the ATM.

  • To keep your account information confidential, always take your receipts or transaction records with you.

  • Do not count or visually display any money you received from the ATM.

  • If you are using a drive-up ATM, be sure passenger windows are rolled up and all doors are locked. If you leave your car and walk to the ATM, lock your car.

  • At night, park close to the ATM in a well-lighted area.
