Banking Safety Tips

To protect yourself from crime:

• Park near the ATM/night depository.

• Have your bankcard ready before getting out of your car.

• When you are making a deposit, fill out the envelope before getting out of your car.

• Always turn your car off while you are at the ATM or night depository.

• Check your surroundings; do not attempt a transaction if you see anyone loitering near the ATM or night depository.

• When entering your identification code, shield the keyboard from anyone who may be in line behind you or observing from a distance.

• If you are in the middle of a transaction and become uncomfortable, press cancel, take your card and leave.

• Before leaving the ATM, make sure you have your card, receipt and cash.

• Do not count currency in view of others; pocket your cash and ATM card before leaving the ATM.

• Have your keys ready before you get to your car.

For drive-up ATMs:

• Drive close enough to the ATM so that you can reach the ATM through the window (and do not leave your car).

• Keep your doors locked, your car running and your windows not in use closed.

And, of course, report lost or stolen ATM cards or suspected misuse of a card to your bank immediately.

In the lower half of the new window that pops up is a list of Previously Applied Credits. Simply find the one, or ones you wish to unapply and click on the check mark next to it to make the check mark disappear. The credit will no longer be applied or tied to that invoice. For Vendors, i.e. bill payments, it is not as clean and simple. The only way to unapply a credit in such a case is to Delete the credit. You can then ...
