As ATM/Debit Card Safety Awareness Month comes to an end, this week
the PULSE� debit network releases Fraud Prevention Tips. Although
debit is a secure and convenient form of payment, it is a good idea
for consumers to take some basic precautions when using their debit
cards. Important steps consumers can take to prevent financial
fraud include: Fraud Prevention Tips Shred all financial documents
and records before disposing of them. Destroy unused or expired
credit, ATM and debit cards. Remove mail promptly from your
mailbox. Match receipts to monthly billing statements. Memorize
PINs, passwords and Social Security numbers � do not store them in
your purse or wallet. Use longer, more complex passwords and PINs,
and change them periodically. Sign all credit cards and debit cards
immediately upon receipt. Notify account providers of address
changes in advance. Immediately report a lost or stolen card and
any unauthorized activity on any account. Never use your PIN as a
password. A comprehensive list of ATM/debit card safety tips is
