How to Keep Safe at a Cash Machine

Using a cash machine is usually safe if you take a few simple steps:

• use a machine in a busy, well-lit place
• keep your PIN private by covering the keypad and never share it with anyone
• stay aware of your surroundings, avoid using machines that look damaged, and leave it something doesn't feel right
• always take your card and cash before you leave and put your money away immediately

If your card is taken by the machine, contact your bank straight away. If you feel unsafe or threatended, move to a safe place and call in 999 in you're in an emergency
