ATM / ITM Safety Tips
We take your safety and security seriously when it comes to protecting you at the ATM /ITM. For instance, our ATMs are in well-lit, secure, public areas. It’s important to also remember the role you play in protecting yourself. As with your other financial accounts, you are the greatest defense when it comes to the security of your personal information. Next time you visit the ATM / ITM, keep these tips in mind:
- Keep your personal identification number (PIN) personal. Never write it down, especially on your card. It’s also a good idea to update your PIN every year.
- Have your debit card ready and in your hand as you approach the ATM. Don't wait to get to the ATM and then take your card out of your wallet or purse.
- To keep your account information confidential, always take your receipts or transaction records with you.
- Do not count or visually display any money you received from the ATM. Immediately put your money into your pocket or purse.
- If you are using a drive-up ATM, be sure passenger windows are rolled up and all doors are locked. If you leave your car and walk to the ATM, lock your car.
- Be aware of your surroundings, particularly at night. If you observe or sense suspicious persons or circumstances, leave the ATM and come back later.
Keeping these tips top of mind when you visit an ATM will help eliminate any potential risk to your financial and physical well-being. Find an ATM / ITM near you.
