Tip of the Week
Staying Safe at the ATM
The most important key to using your ATM card safely is to be observant and look around for any suspicious persons or activity near the ATM machine. If you see anything that looks suspicious, go to another machine or return later. It is a good idea to have your ATM card in your hand and ready to use as you approach the ATM machine so that you don't have to take extra time at the machine to take the card out of your wallet or purse. If you have to use the ATM at night, take a friend with you.
