ATM SECURITY

Avoid using an ATM by yourself. Either take someone with you or only use an ATM when others are around.
If possible, avoid using an ATM after dark. If you must, choose one that is well lighted and does not have tall bushes nearby.
When you arrive at an ATM, look around. If you see anything that makes you uncomfortable, do not stop. Notify police.
Have your access card and any other documents you need ready when you approach an ATM.
If someone else is using the ATM, stay alert to your surroundings. Look up and around every few seconds while transacting your business.
Protect your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Do not enter your PIN if anyone else can see the screen or keypad. Use your body to shield your PIN from onlookers. Don't give your PIN out to others.
When your transaction is finished, be sure you have your card and your receipt, then leave immediately. Avoid counting or otherwise displaying large amounts of cash.
As you leave, be aware of anything suspicious. If you think you are being followed, go to an area with a lot of people and call the police.
