Got my ATM card from the bank

Good morning. Time right now is 4:48am of January 28. I just want to share something that's been not good and good right now. January 27 around 12:30am, I need cash, so, I decided to withdraw some amount at the nearest Bank's ATM outside my workplace after night work shift. Suddenly, after inserting my ATM card, the screen still says "Insert Card", then I tried to cancel so that the card will eject. But no card been ejected. Then, few seconds after, the entire screen change into blue. I tried to wait thinking that needs to restart the machine. But nothing happens. Ended up going home without extra cash and without ATM card at hand. Frightened that my ATM card might hacked, I immediately transferred 99% of my bank account savings into my e-cash wallet app (GCash) that suffers me a $0.50 charge. Got home and decided to report for work at home because I don't have extra budget but my supervisor didn't allow me to work at home. So, left at home at 1pm (still January 27). Reach the bank at around 3:30pm. Reported to the bank about my captured ATM card. With lots of paperworks to sign, they released my ATM card. I reported for work at 5pm. But sad to say, the amount remaining in my ATM bank account is only I think less than 1% of total savings. Since, I have no actual cash in wallet except for some extra for my transportation, I used to buy my food thru the GCash. Anyway, when I'll get my salary on the February 5th, I'll transfer some amount to my personal savings account. How I wish, it will not happen to me again that my ATM Card will capture.

Make sure your card is in good condition like the ends are. not bent. Sometimes the machine can capture the card if it suddenly goes offline.

@florelway I didn't asked. However, I'm happy that I've got my card already.

What a hassle! I might think twice about using that same machine again.

At least the money in your savings is safe since you transferred it.
