Prepaid MasterCard Safety Tutorial - Safety Information

Prepaid MasterCard 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 Debit MasterCard.

Regularly review your account reports to verify your Prepaid MasterCard 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 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.
