Security Tips |
|
|
Remember, there is
safety in numbers. Whenever possible have another person accompany
you when transacting business on an automated teller machine.
|
1. Observe the surroundings |
| Before approaching
any automated teller machine (ATM) be alert for any suspicious
persons or circumstances. Should you observe suspicious persons
or circumstances or otherwise feel uneasy or uncomfortable with
your surrounding, leave the area immediately - do not use the
ATM. Come back at a later or more appropriate time or use an
ATM at another location. Report any suspicious persons to law
enforcement authorities. |
2. Be ready to transact business. |
| Before approaching
any ATM have your access card and any other paperwork necessary
for your particular transaction ready and in your hand. Having
to retrieve these items from a purse or wallet is time consuming
and allows a potential thief easier access to your valuables.
By being ready to transact business before approaching the ATM,
your transaction becomes quicker and safer. |
3. Be courteous of other users. |
| When approaching an ATM which
is in current use, do not stand directly behind the person actually
using the machine. An adequate distance will allow the person
currently using the machine to conduct his/her transaction securely,
privately and confidentially. |
4. Remain observant while using the ATM: |
| While transacting business at
the ATM, continue to observe your surroundings. Be careful not
to disclose or otherwise reveal your Personal Identification
Number (PIN) to others while using the ATM. Never begin a transaction
when strangers have a clear view of the ATM keyboard. Use your
body to shield the ATM keyboard as you access the machine. This
will allow you to access the machine without disclosing or revealing
your PIN. You should check your surroundings every few seconds
while actually using the ATM. Should you observe any suspicious
persons or circumstances, terminate your transaction immediately,
leave the area and contact law enforcement authorities. |
5. Leave quickly. |
| After completing your transaction,
retrieving your card and receiving your receipt, immediately
leave the ATM area. Do not count or otherwise visually expose
any money received from the ATM. Continue to observe your surroundings
for any suspicious persons or circumstances such as anyone following
or approaching you. Always maintain a safe distance between
you and any stranger. If you believe that you are being followed,
you should go to the nearest place where there are people and
contact law enforcement authorities. |
