In today’s digital age, ensuring the safety of your money is paramount, especially when using ATMs or debit cards. At Deogiri Nagari Sahakari Bank Ltd., Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, we prioritize the security of our customers’ funds and offer tips to help you keep your money safe from fraud and scams.

  1. Do Not Share Personal Information: Never share your birth date, phone number, or account number with anyone, especially over the phone or through email. Avoid sharing your PIN (Personal Identification Number) under any circumstances.
  2. Use Secure ATMs: When using ATMs, choose machines located in well-lit and secure areas. Avoid using ATMs that appear tampered with or have suspicious devices attached to them.
  3. Monitor Your Account: Regularly check your bank statements and transaction history for any unauthorized or suspicious transactions. Report any discrepancies to your bank immediately.
  4. Set Transaction Alerts: Take advantage of your bank’s notification services to receive alerts for transactions made using your debit card. This can help you detect any fraudulent activity early.
  5. Keep Your Card Safe: Always keep your debit card in a secure place and never leave it unattended. Avoid writing down your PIN or storing it with your card.
  6. Use Secure Networks: When making online transactions or accessing your bank account through mobile apps, ensure you are connected to a secure and trusted network. Avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions.
  7. Enable Card Controls: Some banks offer card control features that allow you to temporarily block your card or set spending limits. Utilize these features to enhance security.
