Payment Card Industry Compliance III

Skimming is Scamming

  • Beware of criminals posing as repair personnel who might install a skimmer device over an existing payment terminal – or replace an entire card reader unit – to capture magnetic stripe information.
  • Prevention is key.
  • Skimming devices can be difficult to detect and neither retail staff nor cardholders may know when it’s happening.

Customers trust us to protect their credit and debit card information.

Preventing the use of skimming devices is smart business.
