ATM and Card Protection Tips
| • | Be cautious and always pay attention to your surroundings when using your credit, debit or ATM card at an ATM or Point of Sale device. |
| • | When entering in your PIN, hide it from view so others nearby cannot see it. |
| • | Do not use an ATM or Point of Sale device if you notice suspicious individuals or possible tampering of the machine or device, including scratches, marks, adhesive or tape residues. |
| • |
Report any suspicious or fraudulent activity immediately to the owner of the ATM or Point of Sale device to local law enforcement. |
| • | Be suspicious if a store employee takes your card out of your sight in order to process your transaction and asks you to swipe your card through more than one machine. |
| • | Monitor your account or credit card statements for unusual or unauthorized transactions. |
What is Card Skimming?
Card skimming is the illegal copying of information from the magnetic strip of a credit, debit or ATM card. Skimming devices can be placed on or near an ATM or any device in which you swipe your card to make a payment (commonly referred to as Point of Sale device) and can be difficult to spot.
