Safety Tips | Credit Card and ATM Tips | Internet | Winter Driving Tips

• Don't lend your card to anyone, even close friends.

• Select a unique PIN that can't be guessed and never give it to anyone for any reason.

• Be aware of your surroundings when using an ATM and enter your PIN in a way that your hand or body conceals the keypad.

• After completing your transaction, use discretion when counting your money.

• Always take your receipt.

• Report lost or stolen cards immediately to both the bank and to the local law enforcement agency. Although ATMs require passwords, stores often don't require a password for a card to be used.

• If you receive an application for a credit card that you do not want, be sure to tear it up before disposing of it—especially if it's a "pre-approved" application.

• Always use common sense when giving out your credit card information.
