A couple of good tips:
Use secure ATMs under video surveillance or inside a bank lobby.
Always place your hand over the ATM keypad to prevent cameras
or a person nearby person from recording your PIN.
Never let your Electron card out of sight. Know where your Electron card is at all times.
Always remember to take your Card and transaction record with you once your transaction
is complete.
