Safety Tips on Debit Cards & Automated Teller Machines

 

Debit Cards are a fact of life in Canada today.  They are an excellent alternative to carrying cash or credit cards, however it is important that people take action to protect themselves:

 

·        When selecting your Personal Identification Number, stay away from obvious codes, such as your birth date, Social Insurance Number or Address.

 

·        Protect your PIN, never give it to anyone or write it down where a criminal could discover it.

 

·        When possible use an ATM that is in a busy area where there are lots of people around.  And when it is dark try to use an ATM that is in well lighted area.

 

·        Never count your cash out in the open where someone can notice it.  DON"T advertise how much $$ you took out as you are unnecessarily putting yourself at risk.

 

·        Be aware of your surroundings and make sure there is no one lurking around the ATM that you are going to use.
