which side of atm card to insert in machine

The correct way to insert your ATM card is with the side that has the metal **chip** entering the machine first.

• For a standard horizontal ATM card slot, ensure that the chip is leading and the magnetic strip or the chip is typically facing down, aligning with the card reader.
• The card's face (the side with the bank logo and card number) generally faces up.
• If the card is inserted incorrectly, the ATM will not read it and will usually display an error message, prompting you to remove it and try inserting it the opposite way.
