Is it safe to use a ATM?
Choose an ATM that is well-lighted and monitored by a surveillance camera or a security guard. If you are using an indoor ATM that requires your card to open the door, avoid letting anyone that you do not know come in with you. Once inside the vestibule, make sure the door is completely closed behind you.
How do you know if an ATM is safe?
If something looks different, such as different colors or materials, graphics that aren't aligned correctly, or anything else, don't use that ATM. Additional signs of tampering are holes on the machine's surface, holographic tape over seams, or bubbles of glue on the machine.
Is it safe to use random ATMs?
Choose bank ATMs over non-bank locations.
ATMs at banks usually have better surveillance and so avoid tampering by criminals. It is easier for criminals to rig non-bank ATMs at locations like the grocery store, shopping mall, or convenience store.
Are private ATMs safe?
The majority of privately owned ATMs are legitimate, but it is the responsibility of the financial institution to perform enhanced due diligence to ensure money is not being laundered through the ATMs.
