Safety Tips Avoid ATMs in dark and remote places. Never insert your card or enter your PIN in any terminal that does not look genuine, has been modified, has a suspicious device attached, or is operating in a suspicious manner. Remove your cash, receipt and card after every transaction. Have your card ready when you approach the ATM. Block others’ view from seeing your PIN. Memorize your PIN. Don’t tell anyone. Report lost or stolen cards immediately. Never give your PIN over the phone. Know who you are talking to. Don’t fall prey to “Phishing.”
