Many of us use cashpoints as a convenient and quick way of getting our cash. Just make sure you read the following information so that someone else doesn't find it equally as easy to take your cash.

• Use cashpoints during the day if possible.
  
  
• Don't use cashpoints when you have been drinking.
  
  
• If you see somebody suspicious hanging around the cashpoint, walk away and go back later.
  
  

• Look around before inserting your card.
  
  
• Only take what you need; don't walk around with bundles of cash in your pocket.
  
  
• Don't count your money in full view of strangers.
  
  
• Don't keep your PIN with your cashcard. If you have trouble remembering it, incorporate it into a telephone number.
  
  

• Don't ask people to withdraw cash on your behalf and never give your cashcard / PIN number or details of your bank account to anyone.
  
  
• Report any theft or loss immediately to your bank and the police.
