The First National Bank of Gordon takes a number of precautions when it comes to protecting your debit card, as well as keeping our customers safe at the ATM machine. Here is what you the customer can do to take it a step further.
Protecting your Debit Card
- Always protect your debit card and keep it in a safe place, just like you would cash, credit cards or checks.
- Do not leave your debit card lying around the house or on your desk at work. No one should have access to the card but you. Immediately notify the bank if lost or stolen.
- Keep your Personal Identification Number (PIN) a secret. Never write it down anywhere, especially on your debit card.
- Never give any information about your debit card or PIN over the phone. Unless you initiated the contact, the bank will never ask you for this information.
ATM Safety
Using an ATM is a simple process: insert your card, enter your PIN, and withdraw your cash. However, this simple task can open you and your finances up to certain dangers if you are not careful. Here are some general safety tips for using the ATM.
- Have your card ready to use as you approach the ATM.
- Lock your car. Always lock your car before you approach the ATM.
- Be aware of your surroundings, particularly at night. Maintain an awareness of your surroundings throughout the entire transaction.
- Check the ATM for a card skimmer. If you notice anything suspicious or out of place, leave the area and alert the institution.
- Be careful that no one can see you enter your PIN number. Do not allow people to look over your shoulder as you enter your PIN. Use your other hand or body to shield the keyboard as you enter your PIN number.
- To keep your account information confidential, always take your receipts or transaction records with you.
- Do not count or visually display any money you received from the ATM. Immediately put it away and count it later.
- Get in your car immediately and leave the location.
- Closely monitor your bank statements, as well as your balances, and immediately report any discrepancies.
