Card Safety Information:
Using your ATM or debit card is a simple, hassle-free way to get cash, make deposits, check account balances, transfer funds, make purchases and more. To enjoy the many conveniences the debit card offers, you should make protecting your ATM or debit card a priority. Here are some important safety tips:

- Treat your card like cash – store it in a safe place.
- Never keep your card and PIN number together - memorize your PIN number.

  your financial institution.
- Shop carefully online – only use secure sites and network connections.
