Get cash safely

Here are some useful tips for whenever you're withdrawing cash from an Automated Teller Machine (ATM):

When you get to the ATM, have your Visa card ready to use.
Make sure you’re not overlooked by anyone who can see you key in your PIN.
Put your cash, card and receipt away immediately you’ve finished – don’t stand there counting the notes.
If the cash machine swallows your card or damages it, contact the bank of organisation that issued it to you straight away. They’ll arrange to replace it.
If strangers say they can help, say no.
Look around you, especially at night. If the cash machine is in a concealed place or poorly lit, use another one.
If the ATM is in a booth and you have to swipe your card to get in, don’t let strangers follow you.
If you drive to the cash machine, don’t leave keys or valuables in the car. Don’t leave the engine running.
If you use a drive-through cash machine, keep the car doors locked and the other windows closed.
Take your ATM receipts – check them against your monthly statements. It’s a good safeguard against fraud. And if you see a mistake, tell your bank so they can put it right.
Cover your hand when entering your PIN
