Safety Tips when Using an ATM

By Tyler Thurston
Oct 12, 2012

ATMs offer a quick and convenient way to access your money, wherever you are. As accessible as they are, however, there are several key things to keep in mind when using an ATM in order to ensure you (and your bank account’s) safety and security.

In order to best protect your assets, try to use an ATM located inside an open business whenever possible. The public setting will help to deter any potential criminal activity. It is also best to avoid using an ATM during nighttime hours, and don’t use one if you see suspicious people around it. Don’t write your PIN number on your card, or keep it anywhere in your wallet or purse. It is also best to not make your PIN number something easily guessed, like the last four digits of your Social Security or phone number. Always be aware of people standing behind you at the ATM, and try to make sure not to enter your PIN number in plain view. Don’t withdraw large amounts of cash at once, and always take your receipt with you. If you do find yourself in a robbery situation, don’t attempt to fight or fend it off. Take note of the robber’s likeness, and give the robber the money. Get to a safe area and call 911.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Our Tip of the Week, regarding identity theft, is courtesy of Javelin Strategy & Research.

"Online is safer than offline when consumers use available security controls. Consumers should install and regularly update anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and keep operating systems and browsers updated. Once online access is secure, consumers should move financial transactions online to eliminate many of the most common avenues fraudsters use to obtain personal information and gain more control compared to traditional channels. Moving online includes turning off paper invoices, statements and checks, including paychecks, and replacing them with electronic versions. Avoid mailing checks to pay bills or deposit funds in your banking account. Instead, pay bills online and use remote deposit check imaging services."
