ATM Safety Rules

I feel that if few rules are followed when using ATM can help you crime prevention at or near ATMs when you withdraw , especially at night :


1. ATMs are located in well-lit areas that are highly visible to passing traffic;



2. Minimise your time at the ATM by having your card ready when you approach the machine;


3. Take a look around as you approach the ATM and if there's anything suspicious, don't use the machine at that time;


4. Once you've completed your ATM transaction, put your money away immediately and leave. It's best to count your money later;


5. If you don't feel comfortable using a particular ATM, consider continuing on to another branch or using off-street ATMs in banking lobbies;
