Prepaid MasterCard Safety Tutorial - Safety Information

Prepaid MasterCard Card Safety

• When selecting your four digit code (PIN), do not use any number or word that appears in your wallet (such as birth date, name or address).
• Memorize your PIN and never share it with anyone.
• Shop with merchants you know and trust and that accept the prepaid MasterCard.
• Regularly review your account reports to verify your Prepaid MasterCard Card transactions.
• Make sure any Internet purchase activity you engage in is secured with encryption to protect your account information. Look for "secure transaction" symbols.
• Do not send your card number through e-mail, as it may not be secure.
• Always be sure to log off from any site after you make a purchase with your card number. If you cannot log off, shut down your browser to prevent unauthorized access to your Prepaid MasterCard Card information.

ATM Safety

• Observe your surroundings before using an ATM. If the machine is obstructed from view or poorly lit, visit another ATM.
• Take a friend with you — especially at night.
• Have your card out and ready to use.
• Shield the screen and keyboard so anyone waiting to use the ATM cannot see you enter your PIN or transaction amount.
• Put your cash, card and receipt away immediately. Count your money later, and always keep your receipt.
• Take your receipt. The transaction amount will be automatically deducted from your ProPay Account.
• Do not leave your car unlocked or engine running when you get out to use an ATM.
• When using a drive-up ATM, make sure all passenger car doors are locked and windows are up.

While many ATM's are available 24 hours a day, some may be open only during local business hours. To be on the safe side, plan your withdrawals ahead of time.
