Safeguard Your Card

Using your MasterMoney™ or ATM Card is one of the safest ways to get cash or make purchases. Just follow these simple safety rules. Make them a habit and teach new cardholders in your family the same procedures.

Approach With Caution

  • Never insert your card or enter your personal identification number (PIN) in any terminal that does not look genuine, has been modified, has a suspicious device attached, or is operating in a suspicious manner.

  • At a drive-up facility, keep your doors locked and all passenger windows closed.

  • Remove your cash, receipt and card after every transaction. If you make a withdrawal, pocket cash immediately.

Be Efficient

  • Have your card ready when you approach an ATM. Seal checks or cash in an envelope. It is also a good idea to endorse checks with the restriction “For Deposit Only.”

  • Block others’ view. Always stand between the terminal and any person who is waiting, or cup your hand over the keypad as you enter your PIN.

Take Care Of Your Card

  • Treat your card as if it were cash or a credit card. Protect it by not exposing the magnetic stripe to other magnetic objects, which can deactivate your card.

  • Record and file the name of your card’s issuer and the necessary phone numbers for reporting its loss or theft. File the information safely.

Prevent Fraud
You can help prevent fraudulent activity on your account by remembering these guidelines:

  • Memorize your PIN. Don’t tell anyone your PIN or account number and never loan anyone your card.
    Never write your PIN on your card or anything you carry with or near your card.

  • Report lost or stolen cards immediately. You can greatly reduce fraudulent transactions by reporting it quickly.

  • Never give your PIN over the phone. Be especially cautious about information you discuss when using
    cellular phones.

  • Know who you are talking to. Never give unsolicited callers personal information or account numbers over
    the phone.

  • Don’t fall prey to “Phishing.” Never respond to an email requesting you to provide your card, PIN, account number, or any other sensitive personal information via the Internet.

ONLINE PAYMENT PROTECTION

MasterCard® SecureCode™ is a free service that helps protect your MasterMoney™ card against unauthorized Internet transactions by using identity information established between you and your bank. Perry State Bank, in conjunction with SHAZAM, are providing this service to you to improve the security of your payment transactions in the electronic commerce environment. Once you activate your SecureCode, your card cannot be used at participating Internet merchants without authentication by you and/or an authorized user of your account.

 

The purpose of SecureCode is to improve the security of your online payment transactions. It is designed to improve your confidence and that of the merchant when making Internet purchases, as well as reduce disputes and fraudulent activity related to the use of your MasterCard-branded payment cards.

 

SecureCode is easy to use. After enrolling, every time you pay online at a participating MasterCard SecureCode merchant with your MasterMoney Card, you will be automatically prompted to enter you own private SecureCode – just like entering a PIN at the ATM. With MasterCard SecureCode, only you and the people you designate can make online purchased using your MasterMoney™ Card at participating online merchants.

 

Choosing your own private Secure Code is quick and easy! You can enroll at anytime by clicking the enrollment link below, or at participating merchants, you will be prompted to enroll prior to checkout. When this happens, a window from SHAZAM will appear and you will be guided through the simple enrollment process before your purchase is completed. Once you have created your personal SecureCode, you must then use it for future purchases at participating online merchants.
