Nobody plays with their money. That's why many people are very
careful. Hence, since your ATM card is connected to your bank account, you will
be worried and disorganised. Imagine you receiving alerts as someone withdraws
your money from an unknown location. So, if your ATM card is stolen, here are the things you should do.
Don't panic
It's money we are talking about here. Some people may even pee
in their pants if their ATM card gets missing. Really, you don't have to do
this. Compose yourself and do the needful. If you are not careful, your money
would have disappeared before you recover from your watery reaction.
Contact your
bank
The first thing you should do is to contact your bank so that
they can block your card. This will stop them from withdrawing money from your
account.
Change your accounting
information
When your ATM card information has been compromised, you need to
do everything possible to control where your card number is currently shared.
If your credit card is linked to any online retail stores or bill pay sites, go
through each account and remove linked information as soon as possible so that
any future purchases can only be made by manually entering debit card
information.
Review your transaction
regularly
You should review your account from time to time if your ATM
card is stolen. This will help you monitor your account activities.
Change your PIN
Your ATM card may be with you but your card numbers may have
been stolen. If this is the case and you suspect so, you should change your
PIN. Regardless, you should still report to your bank.
Get a new card
You will be issued a new ATM card for a small fee. This will be
done only if inform your bank.
