 Although automated teller machines (ATMS) have made banking more convenient, they have also created new opportunities for thieves and robbers. Here are some tips to keep you and your money secure while conducting ATM transactions:
- Be aware of your surroundings. If you observe or sense suspicious persons or circumstances, do not use the machine.
- Avoid using an ATM at night.
- Don't accept assistance from a stranger.
- Have your ATM card ready when you approach the ATM and memorize your personal identification number (PIN).
- Keep your PIN private by using your body as a shield during the transaction.
- Always take your transaction receipts with you. Don't leave them at the ATM or throw them in the trash near the ATM machine.
