• Look for possible fraudulent devices attached to the ATM. If you suspect such a device, contact the owner of the ATM or Florence Savings Bank immediately.
• Have your card out and ready to use.
• Never accept assistance from anyone at an ATM.
• Block the view of your transactions.
• Never count your money at the ATM.
• When your transaction is complete, put your money away immediately and leave the area.
• Always take your receipt with you.
