ATM
Safety
Tips
 24/7
cash withdrawals
and ATM
locations
on every
other corner
have made
banking
more convenient
than ever
before.
To safeguard
these benefits,
MCCU recommends
taking
these common-sense
safety
precautions:
Protecting
Your
ATM Card
- Keep
your
ATM card
in a
safe
place,
just
like
you would
cash,
credit
cards
or checks.
- Never
leave
your
ATM card
lying
around
the house
or on
your
desk
at work.
No one
should
have
access
to the
card
but you.
- Notify
MCCU
immediately
if your
card
is lost
or stolen.
- Keep
your
Personal
Identification
Number
(PIN)
a secret.
NEVER
write
it on
your
ATM card
or anywhere
else.
- NEVER
give
phone
callers
information
about
your
ATM card
or PIN.
For example,
if you
receive
a call
from
someone
wanting
to verify
your
PIN,
do not
give
that
information.
Notify
the police
immediately.
- MCCU
employees
will
never
call
you to
ask you
for your
PIN.
Using
an ATM
- Be
aware
of your
surroundings,
particularly
at night.
If you
notice
or sense
anything
suspicious,
leave
and go
to another
ATM.
- Have
your
ATM 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.
- Use
your
body
to "shield" the
ATM keyboard
as you
enter
your
PIN,
so no
one can
see it.
- Never
count
or visually
display
any cash
received
from
the ATM.
Immediately
put it
into
your
pocket
or purse
and count
it later.
- Always
take
your
receipts
or transaction
records
with
you.
- 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.
Special
Precautions
for Using
an ATM
at Night
- Park
close
to the
ATM in
a well-lit
area.
- Take
another
person
with
you,
if at
all possible.
- If
the lights
at the
ATM are
not working,
don't
use it.
- If
shrubbery
has overgrown
an ATM
or a
tree
blocks
the view,
go to
another
ATM and
notify
the financial
institution.
