credit or debit?
- Whether you sign or use your PIN, the payment is still taken directly from your checking account

- With signature-based transactions, the payment amount is run similar to a credit card transaction and can take up to 2-3 days to fully hit your checking account

Protecting Yourself From Card Skimming
Take a close look at every card machine and ATM, looking for signs of tinkering, such as a too-thick keypad, an odd-colored card slot, or misaligned graphics. At gas pumps, look for a security seal.
Visit merchants that you know and trust and visit stores where the point-of-sale terminal is located next to the clerk. Keep an eye on your card at all times. Before inserting or swiping your card, look for anything odd, damaged, or loose. And if it’s difficult to insert your card, don’t use the terminal. When using your card at gas pumps, run your card as credit instead of debit to reduce the risk of having your PIN stolen.
Some crooks are placing cameras at point-of-sale terminals that can record your PIN as you enter it. Shield the keypad when entering your PIN, and secure your card and cash before exiting stores, banks, and ATMs. Always be aware of your surroundings.
Remember, if your card is skimmed, you’re covered by Mastercard’s Zero Liability (conditions and exceptions apply).
