ATM User Precautions

 

ATM User Precautions As with all financial transactions, please exercise discretion when using an ATM. For your own safety, be careful. The following suggestions may be helpful:

 

1. Prepare all your transactions at home (for instance, by filling out a deposit slip) to minimize your time at     the ATM.
2. Mark each transaction in your account record, but not while at the ATM. Always save your ATM     receipts. Don't leave them at the ATM because they contain important account information.
3. Compare your records with the account statements you receive.
4. Don't lend your ATM card to anyone.
5. Remember, do not leave your card in the ATM.
6. Protect the secrecy of your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Protect your ATM card as though it     were cash. Don't tell anyone your     PIN. Don't give anyone information regarding your ATM card or     PIN over the telephone. Don't write your PIN where it can be discovered. For example, don't keep a     note of your PIN in your wallet or purse.
7. Prevent others from seeing you enter your PIN by using your body to shield their view.
8. If you lose your ATM card or it is stolen, promptly notify us. You should consult the other disclosures     you have received about electronic fund transfers for additional information about what to do if your     card is lost or stolen.

9. When you make a transaction, be aware of your surroundings. Look out for suspicious activity near the     ATM, particularly if it is after sunset. At night, be sure that the facility (including the parking area and     walkways) is well lighted. Consider having someone accompany you when you use the facility, especially     after sunset. If you observe any problem, go to another ATM or night deposit facility.
10. Don't accept assistance from anyone you don't know when using an ATM.
11. If you notice anything suspicious or if any other problem arises after you have begun an ATM      transaction, you may want to cancel the transaction, pocket your card and leave. You might consider      using another ATM or coming back later.
12. Don't display your cash, pocket it as soon as the ATM transaction is completed and count the cash later      when you are in the safety of your own car, home, or other secure surrounding.
13. At a drive-up facility, make sure all the car doors are locked and all of the windows are rolled up,      except the driver's window. Keep the engine running and remain alert to your surroundings.

 

We want the ATM to be safe and convenient to you. Therefore, please tell us if you know of any problem with a facility. Please report any suspicious activity or crimes to both the operator of the facility and the local law enforcement officials immediately.
