/ Categories: Fraud

At Huron Valley State Bank, your security and information safety are our top priorities. We wanted to share with you some resources to protect yourself from being a victim of fraud and ways to safely use the ATM. Ensuring ATM safety is crucial for protecting both your personal and financial well-being. Here are some safety tips

 

  • Keep your PIN confidential
  • Choose safe locations!
  • Be aware of your surroundings
  • Bring a companion
  • Have your card in hand ready to go
  • Shield your PIN entry - Use your hand/body to shield the ATM keyboard when entering your PIN. This helps prevent others from seeing or capturing your PIN.
  • Always take your receipts or opt for no-receipt 
  • Use your HVSB ATMs
  • Report lost or stolen cards immediately 
  • Be cautious of skimming devices - Check for any unusual attachments or devices on the ATM that may indicate skimming attempts. If something looks suspicious, use a different ATM and report it to the bank.

 

We want to emphasize that we never solicit your personal information through text messages, emails, phone calls, or the Internet. This information is only requested when you initiate contact with us, aiming to verify your identity and enhance the security of your accounts.
