Do you know how to use the ATM correctly?

Who does not know how to use the ATM today? Perhaps, there are very few such people. Meanwhile, with enviable constancy, cardholders and these highly intelligent mechanisms (also called ATM) are confronted. Each case of collisions is unique in its own way. But in most cases, of course, the person is guilty. The machine, it is the machine: it operates according to the program, it is not calculated for non-standard actions, it is impossible to answer anything intelligible in case of a freelance situation ...

However, it also happens that electronic helpers fail. But here the question again is not for them. Either to the employees of the banking institution that collects them, or to the organization that serves the electricity grid. Whatever one may say, the main culprit is the human factor.

But let's go back to the main thing. In any bank you will be told how to use the ATM. Sberbank is this or another Russian bank - it does not matter. Moreover, they will offer a beautiful color brochure in which the processes of obtaining money, viewing the balance, paying for utilities, opening a deposit and everything else that these clever devices know are step by step are described. If necessary and in conditions of unemployment, the manager of a banking institution can advise you, as they say, without departing from the ATM.

Before using the ATM for the first time, try to understand that the scheme of working with it looks like a kind of dialogue. He offers you a choice of several options, and you choose the right one. At the end of mutually beneficial cooperation, the holder of the bank card should have money left on his hands, a check indicating the balance and the withdrawn amount (if it was, of course, removed) and the card itself. In a word, read carefully what is written on the screen, and do not get distracted. Those who know how to use the ATM of the Savings Bank, with pleasure will confirm: special difficulties do not arise in this case. In general, the procedure for communicating with a smart machine does not vary from bank to bank.

A few words about security

Despite the fact that the overwhelming number of cardholders know how to use the ATM correctly, not all of them do it safely. Meanwhile, this is a very important point.

Let's list the actions, the fulfillment of which is not necessarily necessary, but highly desirable:

• Use only those ATMs, which, if I may say so, you know well;
• Before approaching the device, look around - no suspicious "comrades" should rush near;
• In the queue for your blood, do not open the purse - the card should already be in your hands before you took the queue (or come closer if there is no one in front of the ATM);
• Any non-standard or poorly fitting part of the device should alert - in this case it is better to look for another "box with money";
• Never take help or advice from strangers - ignore them;
• Before the introduction of the pin-code, cover the keyboard with a free hand - so it is safer.

The implementation of these simple recommendations, as well as the knowledge of how to use the cash dispenser to withdraw cash, for example, will turn communication with him into a very pleasant action.
