Use the following suggestions:

• Be sure to sign on the back of your card in the signature panel as soon as you receive it in the mail.
• Do not share your PIN (personal identification number) with anyone.
• Memorize your PIN, and never write it on your card or keep it in your purse or wallet.
• Always pay attention to the surroundings when approaching an ATM. Make sure that the ATM is in an open and well-lighted location.
