Opening your wallet or purse can be time consuming and also provides a potential thief with easier access to your valuables.

Never tell anyone your personal identification number (PIN) and be sure to shield the keypad with your hand when entering your PIN. To further reduce the risk of fraud, memorise your PIN and never write it down.

Be wary of strangers who offer to help you, even if you are experiencing difficulty with your transaction. Don't allow others to distract you while you're banking.

As soon as you receive your money and bank receipt, put them away and leave the ATM area.
