One Way to Ensure Security with Debit Card

In this day and time, one could almost think we are headed towards a cashless society. However, there are people that have gotten their finances under control and strictly pay by cash. I do believe that many times if people paid for their purchases in cash, they would not nearly end up in as much financial trouble.

How many times have you been at the store or bank ATM and preparing to use your debit card and you felt the person behind you was standing too close? I must admit this has happened to me several times and made me feel quite uncomfortable. You ask yourself were they watching to see your pin number.

Think about it, how many times if any, have you experienced the person before you using their debit card at the ATM and forgetting their card in the ATM because they were preoccupies with another matter. I have seen this happen and fortunately I was able to catch the person. How many times have you used your debit card and they do not even ask you for ID?

Security is crucial as we all know. I chose not to sign my card and write “See ID” on the back so that the cashier is forced to verify it is me. You might want to consider doing that the next time you receive your debit card or credit card in the mail. How important is your security to you?
