ATM Safety Tips
Your personal safety while conducting transactions
at an ATM depends largely on the safety steps you follow. By
raising your awareness we hope to make you a partner in our
continuing efforts to provide a safe and secure environment.
General
- Never share your PIN (Personal Identification
Number) or give it out over the telephone, even if the
caller identifies himself as your financial representative
or a police officer.
- Be aware of your surroundings, particularly
at night.
- Consider having someone accompany you when the
automated teller machine is used after dark.
- Consider using another automated teller machine or
coming back later if you notice anything suspicious.
If you are in the middle of a transaction and you notice
something suspicious, cancel the transaction, pocket
your card and leave.
- Refrain from displaying your cash. Pocket it
as soon as your transaction is completed. Count the cash
later in the safety of your car or home.
- Report all crimes to law enforcement officials
immediately.
Walk-Up
- Stand close to the ATM when entering
your PIN. Do not allow anyone to watch.
- It is appropriate to politely ask someone who is uncomfortably
close to you to step back before you complete your transaction.
- Go to the nearest public area where people are located,
if you are followed after making a transaction.
Drive-Up
- Keep your car running while operating
the ATM
- Remain in your car while conducting
your ATM transaction. For added security, keep car doors
locked and windows rolled up before and after making
your transaction
