Have your card ready for the transaction. Do not stop and count the cash while standing at the ATM. If at a drive-up ATM make sure to roll up window before counting cash.
Be conscious of the ATM surroundings. If the ATM is not properly lit or in an obscure area, considering finding another ATM.
Make sure to take your receipt once your transaction is complete.
If your ATM access card is lost or stolen, contact the bank immediately.
Always guard your PIN number.

Be careful of any solicitation that sounds too good to be true.
Ask a lot of questions. If you don't receive many answers, chances are it is not a legitimate business.
Never give out your account number over the phone unless you have initiated the call.
Notify the Post Office of any change in address.
Check your mail daily. If you feel there is a decrease in mail delivery, contact the Post Office immediately.
Consider mailing outgoing bill payments from a United States Post Office mailbox versus your own personal mailbox.
As a rule, CoreFirst Bank & Trust would never ask for personal information through an un-solicited e-mail. Please call us immediately if you receive any questionable solicitations.
