Banco Sabadell, BBVA, Dean Drobot BBVA and Banco Sabadell customers, be warned: don't forget this at the ATM.
Security experts recommend not printing the transaction receipt to keep our accounts safe.
If you are a customer of BBVA or Banco Sabadell, it's important that you pay attention to the following advice. After withdrawing money from the ATM, there is a small gesture that can save you from a big disappointment. It's important to know what to do with the transaction receipt.
When withdrawing cash, after entering your personal identification number (PIN) and receiving the money, the ATM will ask you a couple of questions. If you want to perform another transaction and if you prefer to obtain a receipt for the transaction.
Although this may seem like a trivial step, experts from BBVA and Banco Sabadell have issued an important alert. The choice you make at this moment can make the difference between being a victim of fraud or not.
Why shouldn't you take the ATM receipt?
The recommendation from experts is clear. When the ATM asks if you want to print a receipt, you should press the "Cancel" option. Mainly because ATM receipts contain confidential and very valuable information for criminals.
These documents usually display details such as the account number, available balance, or the last digits of your bank card. This information, in the wrong hands, can be used to commit fraud.
Although it may seem like an insignificant gesture, simply obtaining a receipt can put your financial security at risk. Scammers could use this information to make unauthorized charges to your account or even gain access to your personal data. Therefore, both BBVA and Banco Sabadell insist that you avoid printing these receipts whenever possible.
