- Select a PIN that’s easy for you to remember
but difficult for others to guess. Always avoid the
obvious – your telephone number, date of birth,
etc.
- Memorize your PIN. Do not let anyone else know
or use your PIN and avoid writing it down. If you absolutely have
to write down your PIN because you cannot remember it, never keep
the paper in your wallet or purse. Try to disguise the PIN in some
way, for example, by keeping it within a record of other
information.
- Always enter your PIN yourself, rather than
allowing a “helpful” merchant to do it for
you when you’re making a purchase. No legitimate
business will ever ask you for your PIN.
- Never give out your PIN over the phone,
Internet or mail. No one but you knows your PIN – not
even TD Bank Financial Group.
- Complete transactions only when and where you feel secure.
- When conducting transactions at an ABM or a debit purchase,
even if the device you are using has a visor, use your hand
or body to shield the keypad when you enter your PIN.
- When a transaction is complete, put your card back in
your wallet and take your transaction record.
- Shred or otherwise destroy your transaction
records when you no longer need them.
- Change your PIN from time to time, just in
case. This is easy to do at any TD Green Machine or during regular
business hours at a branch.
