Protect your personal identification number (PIN). Do not write it on the back of your card or somewhere visible. Stand directly in front of the ATM when entering the number so that no one can look over your shoulder.

Money should be put away as soon as you withdraw it from the ATM. Do not stand and count your money, conceal it immediately. Do not openly carry it away from the ATM.

Be ready to conduct transactions before approaching the ATM. Conduct your business quickly. Do not loiter in the vicinity.

Use a well-lit ATM. Be observant. Try to always have someone with you when you are banking at night. Be cautious of anyone who is lingering around.

Caution should always be exercised when going to and from your bank. Stay alert. Do not display cash or checks. Keep them concealed in your purse or pocket. Be sure to take your receipt from the ATM machine.
