WALK-UP
ATMs
|
|
| If you see or sense suspicious persons or circumstances: | |
|
Do not use the ATM; or |
|
If you are in the middle of a transaction, cancel it, leave the area, and come back later, or use an ATM at another location. |
|
When using a walk-up ATM, do not leave your keys or valuables behind in the car and NEVER leave your car engine running. |
|
Have your EBT (Golden State Advantage) card ready--avoid having to go through your wallet or purse to find your card. |
|
When waiting in line, stand well behind the person in front of you. If someone is too close to you, ask him or her to step back. |

Make sure no one can see you enter your PIN at the ATM. Block the view of other people by standing directly in front of the PIN key pad. |

Do not count or show your money at the ATM. Put your cash, card and receipt away quickly and count it later. |
|
To keep your account information confidential, take receipts/transaction records with you. |

|
Take someone with you, if possible. |
