Card Safety Tips:
- Be sure to sign on the back of your card in the signature panel as soon as you receive it in the mail.
- Do not share your PIN (personal identification number) with anyone.
- Memorize your PIN, and never write it on your card or keep it in your purse or wallet.
- Always pay attention to the surroundings when approaching an ATM.
- Make sure that the ATM is located in an open and well-lighted location.
- Be prepared before approaching the ATM. When the transaction is complete, remember to take your receipt, card and cash and then leave immediately. Do not stop to count your cash until you are in a safe location.
- When your card has expired and you have received your new card, be sure to destroy your old card.
- When using your card at a merchant, be sure your card is returned and that you received a copy of your receipt. When the receipt is no longer needed, be sure to shred or otherwise destroy it.
- Always keep your card in a safe and secure location.
- Subscribe to a credit-monitoring service, which will help protect you and notify you immediately if there are any activities on your accounts that you need to be aware of.
- Monitor your credit card, debit card, or ATM card transactions daily to ensure there are no unauthorized transactions.
