    Assumptions:
    I. ATM cards issued by a bank to customers might be lost by some customers.
    II. Some people may try to use ATM cards of others clandestinely to withdraw money.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit.
    2. if only assumption II is implicit.
    3. if either I or II is implicit.
    4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both I and II are implicit.

The instruction to customers is aimed at ensuring safety and restricting unauthorised person's accessibility to any individual's account. Hence, the speaker must be assuming that an unauthorised person can access others' account.
