For instance, using an ATM that’s in a well-lit area that many people pass through may be more secure than using an ATM that’s tucked in an out-of-the-way, poorly lit spot.

If you’re using an ATM that doesn’t belong to your bank, then give it a quick once-over to look for anything that seems out of place.
If your banks ATM is located inside an enclosed vestibule that requires your card to enter, choose it over an ATM that anyone can walk or drive up to
When using the ATM in a public space, keep some distance between yourself & others. Don’t allow anyone to stand close behind you, as they may be able to see your PIN as you enter it.
When using an ATM, be cognizant of who is around you. For example, take note of people who seem to be hanging around the machine or walking past it repeatedly.
If you pull up to a drive-thru ATM, keep your doors locked and your car running. Keep the windows up, other than the one you’re using to access the machine.
Don’t lingerWhen visiting the ATM, consider beforehand what you need to do, so you can get in and out as quickly as possible.
Be sure to get a receipt for any ATM transactions you conduct and check them against your bank statements later.
If something seems off about an ATM, a transaction, or someone who’s nearby, trust your gut. Cancel the transaction and promptly exit.
