N.Y. Banking Law § 75-c: Security measures

§ 75-c. Security measures. Every banking institution shall maintain

the following security measures with respect to each of the automated

teller machine facilities within its dominion and control:

1. A surveillance camera or cameras, which shall view and record all

persons entering an automated teller machine facility located within the

interior of a building, or which shall view and record all activity

occurring within a minimum of three feet in front of an automated teller

machine located outside a building and open to the outdoor air. Such

camera or cameras need not record banking transactions made at the

automated teller machines. The recordings made by such cameras shall be

preserved by the banking institution for at least forty-five days.

2. Adequate lighting.

3. With respect to an indoor automated teller machine facility: (a)

entry doors equipped with locking devices which permit entry to such

facility only to persons using a magnetic-strip plastic card or similar

access device.

(b) To the extent practicable, as determined by an expert with

competence in such matters and as permitted by local building codes, at

least one exterior wall which provides an unobstructed view of the

interior of the automated teller machine facility.

(c) A reflective mirror or mirrors, as necessary, placed in such a

manner as to permit a person entering an indoor automated teller machine

facility to view areas within such facility that are otherwise concealed

to plain view.

(d) A clearly visible sign which, at a minimum, provides the following

information:

(1) the activity of the automated teller machine facility is being

recorded by a surveillance camera or cameras;

(2) customers should close the entry door completely upon entering and

exiting;

(3) customers should not permit any unknown persons to enter after

regular banking hours;

(4) customers should place withdrawn cash securely upon their person

before exiting the automated teller machine facility;

(5) complaints concerning security in the automated teller machine

facility should be directed to the banking institution's security

department or the department of financial services, together with

telephone numbers for such complaints, and that the nearest available

public telephone should be used to call the police if emergency

assistance is needed.
