Some fraudsters wait until you’ve drawn your cash to take advantage. Be aware of people loitering around the ATM and make sure that you’re not followed. Take your time to complete your transaction and secure your card and your cash in your wallet, handbag or inside pocket before leaving the ATM. Set a daily withdrawal limit that suits your needs to protect yourself if your card and PIN are compromised. Check your balance regularly and report discrepancies to your bank immediately. After you have completed your transaction successfully, leave the ATM area immediately. Be cautious of strangers requesting you to return to the ATM to finalise or close the transaction because they’re unable to transact. Skimming may occur during this request.
