All banks have 24hrs customer service, if you find yourself in that situation all you need to do is call your bank to block your card.

While your information is spot on. You are wrong to generalise the use of ATM on friday night.
be mindful of the following
1. Most banks have securiyy personel on premises 24/7 and the ayms are located withing a premises with perimeter walls
2. Spurious ATM machine which users must be wary of are the one located off site bank premises or facing a main road or highway.

I think rather than create fear of using ATM altogether, focus should be on sensitization about safe and secure usage.

This is my 10kobo

Thanks for sharing.

Generally, don't use ATMs situated at lonely places. Fear of being lynched (not even being arrested by the police) won't let any robber approach you at an ATM where there are several passers-by.

Google is your friend. If you find yourself in that situation, use Google to get your banks customer care number and call them immediately. All they would ask you are your names, bank account and last three transactions, etc and you'd have your atm card blocked. How she waited a whole weekend and allowed them have all that opportunity beats me.

Banks work 24 hours. Always get the customer care number of your bank. The card can be hot listed even on weekends.

It is very important to get the number from your branch.

Thanks for the info.

If anybody found him/herself in such situation (God forbid), the best thing is to do is to give out ur pin number as requested to avoid been attacked or killed but in reverse e.g. if ur ATM pin code is 1234 just tell them 4321, the ATM machines will still recognise the code as reversed at immediately activate an internal security system which notify the police, and also block ur account immediately after daily withdrawal limit has been reached.

This reversal technique will not work in all parts of the world. As a matter of fact I am yet to see a single instancein nigeria where it worked.

If the inrernal security system was configured to identify theft through reverse algorithm then that is a good one. But the notifying police part is just a big Joke.

D pin will be tested on dat spot.... Dey will withdraw so cash before leaving dia victim.
yes but the ATM machine has already been notified that u're in danger at that point in time but will do everything possible to get the the recording of what is presently going on at that in time, without the knowledge of the thief through video recording of the scene and snapping of all present at that point in time.

The system might not be able to recognize any foul play in such circumstances but as you know technology waits for no one.

If this is true then Union Bank customers can block their cards by using the number they used to open their accounts to text this code: BLOCKCARD>space>your account number to 20123 (BLOCKCARD 1234567890 to 20123)

You can also call Union Bank customer service on 07007007000 for help.

I'm sure other banks would have similar service you just need to find out.

For Diamond Bank. Just send Cards Off to 30811 using your registered number

Or use your mobile app to block the card

Or call the contact centre on 07003000000

Or send a mail to complaint@diamondbank.com or to enquiries@diamondbank.com

Or go to the nearest Atm. Pick up the phone there and talk to an agent for free.

This is a more reason to Bank with Diamond. Your Bank. grin

Thanks, but this is nonsense. Just imagine, if my pin is 1441... they rob me, I tell them 1441 as the reverse one. Will an ATM see it as a regular or a reverse PIN?
