Bnl how to block ATM

The ATM is an essential tool for managing your money quickly and safely. However, it may happen that you lose it or have it stolen. In these cases, it is important to know how to block the ATM to prevent someone from using it improperly.

In the case of BNL, there are several ways to block the ATM. Let's see together what options are available.

Blocking the ATM via internet banking

If you are subscribed to BNL's internet banking, you can block your ATM directly from the bank's website. You will need to access your reserved area with your credentials and select the "Block Cards" option. From here you can choose which card to block (in our case the ATM) and confirm the request.

Blocking the ATM by phone

If you do not have access to internet banking or prefer to speak directly with an operator, you can contact BNL's customer service at the toll-free number dedicated to payment cards: 800.54.26.56. You will be asked to provide some personal data for identification and then you can request the blocking of your ATM.

Blocking the ATM at a BNL branch

Finally, if you prefer to go in person to a BNL branch, you can request the blocking of your ATM directly at the counter. Remember to bring a valid identity document and your ATM card with you.

• Blocking the ATM is important to prevent fraudulent use by third parties
• BNL offers different methods for blocking its own ATM, including internet banking, telephone and branches

Reasons for blocking the ATM

The ATM is a tool that allows us to manage our money in a simple and fast way, but it may happen that it is blocked for different reasons. Let's see what are the main reasons why the ATM can be blocked:

1. Wrong pin

One of the most common reasons why the ATM is blocked is entering the wrong pin too many times. Every time we enter the wrong pin, the system records the error and if we exceed a certain number of failed attempts, the card is blocked.

2. Suspected fraud

Banks have very advanced security systems to protect their customers from fraud. If the bank detects suspicious activity on your card, such as unusual withdrawals or transactions, it may decide to temporarily block your card to verify what happened.

3. Card expiration

The ATM has an expiration date and when this arrives, the bank sends a new card to the customer. If you do not receive the new card in time, the old card may be automatically blocked.

4. Insufficient funds

If you do not have enough funds in your current account or prepaid card, you may not be able to withdraw money from the ATM. In some cases, the bank may decide to temporarily block your card until a deposit is made into the account.

5. Technical issues

In some cases, the ATM may be blocked due to technical problems with the banking system or the machine itself. If this happens, it is necessary to immediately contact the bank's customer service to resolve the issue.

• To summarize, the main reasons why an ATM may be blocked are:
• Entering the wrong pin too many times
• Suspicion of fraud
• Card expiration
• Insufficient funds
• Technical issues

It is important to always keep track of transactions made with your ATM and immediately report any suspicious activity to the bank. This way you can avoid unpleasant surprises such as card blocking or loss of your money.
