ATM/Debit Card Safety Reminders

ATM and Debit cards can be extremely convenient. You have the ability to withdraw cash, make deposits, transfer money, make purchases, and obtain current balance information on your accounts. There are an abundant number of ATM machines and retailers who accept Debit cards; which makes using your card fast, easy and convenient. However, with that convenience also comes some responsibility. Remember to follow these important safety reminders:

1. Never write your PIN number on your card or on anything you might carry with your card;

2. Never tell anyone your PIN number and never allow anyone use or access to your ATM/Debit card;

3. Never use your Debit card online to make a purchase or reservation;

4. Never be tricked into giving you card number or PIN number in response to an unsolicited phone call or email;

5. Never use a terminal that appears to have been modified or looks suspicious;

6. Never let anyone peer over your shoulder as you key in your PIN number;

7. Report lost or stolen ATM/Debit card(s) immediately!

8. Use your Debit Card only at an ATM terminal with the VISA Logo.
