when taking money out it is advisable to shield the keypad so individuals can not see the pin or how much money is being taken out - having a friend shield a transaction is helpful in making the process more safe.

when entering into a bank individuals should have their card ready to use - if anyone is planning on taking out large sums of money a local might advise they do so in a safer neighborhood, during the day, or have a taxi waiting for them outside of the bank

after withdrawing the money it is standard to immediately put away the cash and receipt - counting the withdrawn money is best done when returning home or in a secure location

individuals should ensure their transaction is complete before leaving the atm since it is not always automatic - most atms close at 22:00 so everyone should have money for the evening before going out - finding a 24 hour atm can be difficult and stressful during the night.
