Press 'Cancel' at ATMs to Protect Your Data and Cash

When using an ATM, it's crucial to press the red 'cancel' button after receiving your card and cash. This simple action ensures your transaction is fully completed and protects your sensitive data.

The German Banking Industry Federation advises using the cancel button if you feel uncomfortable or if someone offers unsolicited help while at an ATM. This could be a ploy by criminals to steal your data or money. Pressing the cancel button immediately stops the current transaction and returns your card. It's important to remain focused and not act hastily, especially in potentially unsafe situations or when there's suspicious behavior nearby. Using the cancel button helps reduce the risk of fraud and data misuse.

Always press the red 'cancel' button after receiving your card and cash at an ATM. This simple step ensures your transaction is complete and your data is protected. It's a vital part of staying safe while using ATMs.
