ATMs and card security

This is how you can help protect yourself around ATMs:

• Be vigilant – While at an ATM machine, cover your pin and keep an eye on your card at all times. Be aware of who is around you and be suspicious of anyone hanging around the ATM. Thieves employ a wide range of tactics to distract you. When you have left the ATM, put your card away.
• Look out for devices attached to the ATM machine – Some devices are more obvious than others. If you do see something suspicious, contact the bank or the premises responsible for the machine.
• Trust your instincts – If in doubt, do not use the machine.
• Be careful with contactless cards – You can obtain a sleeve or cover that will prevent the electronic card details from being inadvertently read.
