SAFEGUARD YOUR CARD
Using your MasterMoney ™ or ATM Card is one of the safest ways to
get cash or make purchases. Just follow these simple safety rules.
Make them a habit and teach new cardholders in your family the same
procedures.
Approach With Caution
-
Never insert your card or enter your personal identification number
(PIN) in any terminal that does not look genuine, has been modified,
has a suspicious device attached, or is operating in a suspicious
manner.
-
At a drive-up facility, keep your doors locked and all passenger
windows closed.
-
Remove your cash, receipt and card after every transaction. If
you make a withdrawal, pocket cash immediately.
Be Efficient
-
Have your card ready when you approach an ATM. Seal checks or
cash in an envelope. It is also a good idea to endorse checks with
the restriction “For Deposit Only.”
-
Block others' view. Always stand between the terminal and any person
who is waiting, or cup your hand over the keypad as you enter your
PIN.
Take Care Of Your Card
-
Treat your card as if it were cash or a credit card. Protect it
by not exposing the magnetic stripe to other magnetic objects, which
can deactivate your card.
-
Record and file the name of your card's issuer and the necessary
phone numbers for reporting its loss or theft. File the information
safely.
Prevent Fraud -
You can help prevent fraudulent activity on your account by remembering these
guidelines:
-
Memorize your PIN. Don't tell anyone your PIN or account number
and never loan anyone your card.
Never write your PIN on your card or anything you carry with or near your
card.
-
Report lost or stolen cards immediately. You can greatly reduce
fraudulent transactions by reporting it quickly.
-
Never give your PIN over the phone. Be especially cautious about
information you discuss when using
cellular phones.
-
Know who you are talking to. Never give unsolicited callers personal
information or account numbers over
the phone.
-
Don't fall prey to “Phishing.” Never respond to an email requesting
you to provide your card, PIN, account number, or any other sensitive
personal information via the Internet.
