ATM Safety 101

• Observe your surroundings before using an ATM. If the machine is obstructed from view or poorly lit, visit another ATM.
• Shield the screen and keyboard. This way anyone waiting to use the ATM cannot see you enter your PIN or transaction amount.
• Put your cash, card and receipt away quickly. Count your money later, and always keep your receipt.
• If you see anyone or anything suspicious, cancel your transaction and leave quickly.
• If anyone follows you after making a transaction, go to a crowded, well-lit area and call the police.
• When using an enclosed ATM that requires your card to open the door, avoid letting strangers follow you inside.
• When using a drive-up ATM, make sure all passenger car doors are locked and windows are up.
• Do not leave your car unlocked or engine running when you get out to use an ATM.
• While many ATMs are available 24 hours a day, some may be open only during local business hours. To be on the safe side, plan your withdrawals ahead of time.
• Check with your financial institution to determine what the daily withdrawal limit is for your account.

Protecting your card

• Keep your card in a safe place to avoid damage or theft.
• Memorize your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Never write the PIN down on anything in your wallet or on the card.
• When selecting a PIN, avoid numbers and letters that relate to your personal information. For example, don't use your initials, birthday, telephone or Social Security number. If you have such a number, contact your bank and get a new PIN issued.
• Immediately report a lost or stolen card to your financial institution.
  • To report your lost VeraBank Debit Card, please call VeraBank at 800-530-2265.
• To help guard against fraud, keep your ATM receipts until you check them against your monthly statement.

Tips when traveling abroad

• International ATMs may save you money. Withdrawals are provided in local currency, but are debited from your account in U.S. dollars based on an exchange rate.
• All Mastercard^®/Maestro^®/Cirrus^® ATMs feature easy-to-read instructions in English and the local language.
• Have your card out and ready to use.
• Some international ATMs are available only during normal business hours. Hours vary from country to country.
• Most international ATMs do not permit transactions involving multiple accounts. Most likely, your transaction will be routed to your primary account.
• Four-digit numeric PINs are standard in most countries.
• Before you travel, notify your bank that you will be traveling abroad.
