Be ATM alert

•  Park close to the ATM that you are going to withdraw money from.
•  Avoid drawing money at street ATMs at night.
•  Be aware of movement and people in the area.
•  Don’t accept help from strangers, rather ask bank personnel.
•  Never enter your pin before being asked to do so.
•  When keying in your pin try to cover the keypad with your hand.
•  Put your cash away before leaving the ATM.
•  Do not swipe your card through any device before inserting your card into the machine.
•  Make sure you have your own card when leaving the ATM.
•  Be aware of objects stuck to the ATM, especially where the card must be inserted.
•  Be alert when asked by someone to help them with ATM access or for a lift from the ATM.
•  Be aware of scams by people who pretend to have found money and are willing to share their find.
