Are you scare to withdraw money at night?

It's scary to withdraw money in places with not much people in the day, how much more at night time?

This is the main reason why I usually withdraw money in the mornings inside malls instead of outside. There's a lot more chances for you to be robbed or hijacked at night outside as compared to malls.

I don't think it's a good idea either for you to continue the habit of withdrawing at night time. Else, find another bank or branch wherein there's security around at night.

It's better to be cautious that to be sorry.

Almost sounds like you're making a horror story, haha. Yes, I'd be freaked out and no I do not do that at night.

I would be too afraid of getting robbed, and even if I got away, I'm sure my car wouldn't start..that would be my luck. So, on that thought, no I'll stay home instead.

Hi clorissa,

Yes, there are a time when I was so paranoid and scared on withdrawing my money from the ATM booth at night because, you'll never know if the place is safe or if there's any bad guys whose job is to steal money like hold uppers. So, I seldom withdraw from atm at night.

Your story just has an attractive process, but the end isn't fit a horrible film, for nothing happened at last. hehe.
In my opinion, I won't do such things unless I need the money in emergency such as I need it to save somebody's life. It's a common phenomenon people feel others watching at them when they withdraw money at night. You can see a long queue sitting in front of the ATM machines in the daytime, whilst almost no one withdraws money at night. But the incidence of a robbery is still low, especially in a big city, lots of polices will patrol in the street at night, if you really clash into the villains, you should image life before money.

I wouldn't be scared as where I would withdraw money is safe. We live in a safe county and though there is still crime here it's uncommon. So whether it be day or night, I wouldn't mind going by to pick up some money from the ATM, though we don't really use cash money anymore, most of the time we use our debit card.

with the situation today, the financial crisis with everyone of us, there are some people who have deep need of cash to survive and they do just like that, and even kill people. and that i am afraid of too. so if ever i need money at night, i will make sure that i have someone with me in going to the machine to withdraw money.

What Laydee has commented is very right. I have a video, and you can watch how ATM robbery takes place. You should try to avoid quite places and using ATM at night. If you share your mail id I can share my video. Its a true story happened in India recently. Thanks.

Well, a lot of times at night it can be a lot scarier to withdraw $$, especially if you are in crime ridden areas, or being a single woman by yourself, but my husband and I have been known to withdraw $$ later at night from a cash machine if we have too. I think a lot of the time your best interest is to find a well lit up area and just be cautious and look around you before you go there as well. Also make sure and be aware of your surroundings at all times, and if you are a Praying person saying a prayer of protection sometimes is a Great idea as well. But when you really need the $$ sometimes you really have no choice.

Yes, I would be afraid unless there was someone else with me. I am afraid someone could be behind the ATM machine and jump out at me. If I have to draw out at night I will use an ATM machine in a store where they are people around and lights.

I not really that scare to withdraw money at night.This is because there will always be a security guard near by the ATM.However,i will trying to careful and pay attention to the surrounding.I think it will be best to take your money at ATM where there are more people even it is night.
