  •  Lock car doors and roll up windows when using drive-through ATMs.
  • Do not leave keys or valuables in the car when using an ATM.
  • Have your card ready to avoid having to go through your purse or wallet.
  • Make sure that no one nearby can view your PIN or transaction amount.
  • Do not count cash while standing at an ATM; put your cash, card, and receipt away immediately.
  • After completing an ATM transaction, remember to take your card and transaction record, do not leave your receipt behind. Check it against your monthly statements.
  • If your card becomes stuck inside an ATM machine, be suspicious of anyone offering their help, even if they appear to be a bank security officer. Do not accept help from strangers.
  • Do not ask strangers to help you make withdrawals with your card.
  • Do not give your PIN to a stranger to assist you.
  • Protect your card and PIN.
