You've got the card - Here's how to
keep it safe!.
Using your ATM or debit card is one of the safest ways to get cash
or make purchases.
Just follow these simple safety rules. Make them a habit. And teach
new cardholders in your family the same procedures.
Approach With Caution
- Never insert your card or enter your PIN in any terminal that
does not look genuine, has been modified, has a suspicious
device attached, or is operating in a suspicious manner.
- At a drive-up facility, keep your doors locked and all passenger
windows closed.
- Remove your cash, receipt and card
after every transaction. If you make a withdrawal,
pocket cash immediately.
Be Efficient
- Have your card ready when
you approach an ATM. Seal checks or cash in an envelope.
It’s also smart to endorse checks with
the restriction “For Deposit Only”.
- Block others’ view.
Always stand between the terminal and any person who is waiting, or
cup your hand over
the keypad as you enter your personal identification
number (PIN).
Prevent Fraud
You can help prevent fraudulent activity on your account by remembering
these guidelines:
- Memorize your PIN. Don’t tell anyone your PIN
or account number and never loan anyone your card.
Never write your PIN on your
card or anything you carry with or near your card.
- Report
lost or stolen cards immediately. You can greatly
reduce fraudulent transactions by reporting it quickly.
- Never
give your PIN over the phone. Be especially cautious
about information you discuss when using cellular phones.
- Know who you are talking to. Never give unsolicited callers personal
information and account number over the phone.
- Don’t fall prey to “Phishing.” Never
respond to an e-mail requesting you to provide card,
PIN, or personal information via the internet.
- Take Care of Your Card.
- Treat your card as if it were cash or a credit
card. Protect it by not exposing the magnetic stripe
to other magnetic objects, which can deactivate your
card.
- Record and file the name of you card’s issuer and the
necessary phone number for reporting its lost or theft.
File the information safely.
