Cash Machine / ATM – Good practice

Memorise your PIN – never write it down and shield the keypad when entering the number.
Be alert and put personal safety first. If someone is crowding or watching you, cancel the transaction and go to another machine. Never allow yourself to be distracted.
If you spot a camera, suspicious device or apparent interference with the cash machine – DO NOT USE IT. Contact the bank immediately.
Immediately report a card which has been confiscated at a cash machine without warning and if you can, don’t leave the machine.
Never rely on a stranger to help retrieve a confiscated card or assist you at a cash machine.
Once you have completed a transaction put your money and card away before leaving the cash machine. Destroy, or preferably shred, your cash machine receipts, mini statements or balance enquiries when you dispose of them.
