Summarize this article in one sentence.
You can usually check your balance at any ATM, even if it’s not owned by your bank. Look for an ATM at local bank branches, grocery stores, gas stations, and some retail locations. At the bank, there should be an outside ATM that's available 24 hours a day and an inside ATM that's available during business hours. At other locations, they're typically located in either the front or the back of the store.  Many banks have a drive-up ATM that you can use without getting out of your car. It’s best to use ATMs that are indoors because they’re less likely to be tampered with by thieves. However, it’s usually safe to use outdoor ATMs, so don’t worry if that’s your only option. Check the diagram on the machine to find out which side the card’s strip needs to be on. Then, slide your card into the machine’s card slot. Leave the card in during the transaction or pull it out, depending on how the machine works. This is the 4-digit number you received or set up when you got your debit card. Type it in using the keypad, then select enter. If someone is waiting to use the ATM after you, cover the keypad so they can’t see what you enter. Most machines will display all of your banking options. Choose the one that says “balance.” Then, select the type of receipt you want. It may display your balance on the screen. However, some machines only show your balance on your receipt. You can typically get a paper receipt or e-receipt. This will show you your current balance. If the machine displays your balance on the screen, you might choose not to get a receipt. Some machines log you out automatically, but others let you select another option. To make sure your account information stays safe, push the button to log out or to complete your transaction. Make sure you also take your card back if you haven’t already. If the machine holds your card while you complete your transaction, it will slowly eject from the card slot once you complete your transaction.
Find an ATM in-person or using your phone. Insert your debit card into the ATM. Type in your personal identification number (PIN) code. Select the option to view your bank balance. Take the receipt that shows your account balance. Log out of the machine.
