ATM Safety

Here are some tips on how to stay safe when using an automated teller machine (ATM).

• If possible, avoid using an ATM late at night or very early in the morning.
  
• Before approaching the ATM, drive around the branch or facility to ensure there are no suspicious persons loitering.
  
• If you spot anything suspicious, leave the area immediately and report it to the police.
  
• Use only well lit ATMs in public places.
  
• Have your card and paperwork ready before approaching the ATM.
  
• Shield your personal identification number (PIN) from view when entering the numbers.
  
• Don’t count your cash at the ATM.

Walk up ATMs

• Don’t leave the car idling and the door unlocked.
  
• Keep an eye on the ATM safety mirror to ensure nobody is coming up behind you.
  
• Don’t approach the machine until the person in front of you has completed their transaction and left the machine.

Drive up ATMs

• Keep car doors locked and windows rolled up except when necessary to access the ATM.
  
• Monitor the area around you to ensure nobody is approaching your vehicle.
  
• Drive off if someone starts approaching.
