How to use an ATM

Begin by inserting the ATM card into the machine. Then you'll just follow along. Your card contains all your personal banking information, much like the information that is preprinted on your checks.

1. Please type 4 digit pin number. Then press Enter.
2. Please choice what you would like to do from the following; Withdraw money, Deposit Money, Balance inquiry
3. If you are withdrawing money, please enter the amount of your withdrawal. If you want to withdraw $40, you need to press 4, then 3 zeros because you must account for the digits to the right of the decimal point. Then press Enter.
4. If you would like a receipt of your transaction, choice yes.
5. If you would lie to do another transaction, choice yes.

It's always a good idea to get a receipt. It will help you balance your checkbook. Your receipt is also proof that you made a deposit if there are any problems later on. It's important to note that the available balance printed on your receipt may not represent your actual balance. Some banks do not reflect the ATM deposit on the receipt until the deposit is physically processed by the bank.

If you have trouble using the ATM at your bank, don't hesitate to ask someone at the bank for help. In fact, it's just a good idea to have someone from the bank help you the first time you use an ATM. The thing to remember about ATMs is to keep your PIN number secret. It's important to protect your account in that way.
