12 Tips On How To Keep Your ATM Card Safe. by Tofati: 6:29pm On Aug 31, 2021
1. Keep your PIN Secret, Do not write your Personal Identification Number (PIN) on paper or give it out to anyone, including friends and family, and do not reveal it to anyone over the phone, "remember no bank will ever ask for you for what they can get without asking you" . Avoid using numbers that are easily identified (birth date, phone number, etc.) with your personal identity. Report lost or stolen cards immediately to your bank.

2. If you notice any irregularities e.g. charges on items you didn’t order, cash withdrawals you didn’t make, etc. Put a call across to your bank immediately to report this. Please make sure your have your bank’s contact or even their email addresses.

3. Always check your email for transaction updates. The email notification service is free and compulsory for the safety of your account. To enroll for this service visit your bank branch near you.

4. If your card is retracted at an ATM make sure you don’t leave that area and report to your bank immediately.

5. Keep your eye on your card. Ensure your card is in your clear view whenever an attendant at a shop wants to swipe your card.
Do not allow the attendant take your card into an inner room or enter your PIN on your behalf. Do not allow the attendant take a picture of your atm card.

6. Free Trials are not ‘free’. If you initiate a trial subscription with a merchant, make sure you go back to the website to cancel your account before your free trial expires. Otherwise, you will be charged by them in subsequent months.

7. Carefully Read the Terms and Conditions when making reservations as some reservations are non-refundable. Make sure you cancel your reservation on or before the due date to prevent no-show charges if you do not show up.

8. Avoid moving your Atm Card everywhere to prevent wear and tear.

9. Once in a while bring out your atm card from your wallet or bag and air it as moisture can cause damages overtime.

10. Avoid flashing your atm card all about as very close relatives can memorize your card details and withdraw from your bank account since they have access to your phone for mobile transfer. Atmost ensure your phone has a password and don't open it in any once presence.

11. Once your ATM card has being stolen contact your bank to block your accoint immediately.

12. No one I repeat no one not even your bank will ask you for your ATM Card Details.
