What is ATM skimming?

ATM skimming is when criminals electronically steal or “skim” a cardholder’s personal financial information during ATM transactions. By fitting an unseen portable electronic card reader and mini camera onto an ATM, they can potentially “cash out” debit card accounts, clone new debit/credit cards or sell cardholder personal information to crime syndicates.

Your Customers Count on ATM Security

Up to $1.2 billion in global losses are reported annually from electronic crime and credit card fraud associated with ATMs.* And with ATM skimming on the rise, customer confidence is threatened. In fact, 67% of U.S. adults who use banking ATMs would be likely to switch institutions after an instance of ATM fraud or data breach.** It is essential that as a financial institution you take corrective measures to ensure banking security.

Multiple Points of Protection to Ensure ATM Security

The bundled Anti-Skim ATM security solution, only available through ADT, surrounds your ATMs with multiple points of protection against ATM skimming.

Features include:

1. Helps thwart card-skimming attempts:

CPK+ technology creates a protective shield around the card entry slot. This helps to render card- reader skimming devices useless while simultaneously protecting the integrity of ATM cardholder data and personal financial information.

2. Detects skimming devices and triggers alarm signals:

An anti-skimming surface sensor detects the presence of foreign objects placed over card-entry slots and triggers a silent alarm notification to ADT or the bank's monitoring command center.

3. Activates video sequencing of skimming activities:

Anti-Skim sensing devices can be integrated with ATM or vestibule surveillance DVRs. This allows for video documentation and sequencing of skimming activities and corresponding ATM customer transactions.

4. Can feature an ADT alarm-monitored response:

When you add ADT monitoring centers to monitor your ATM security program, you can receive real-time notification of ATM skimming occurrences. Law enforcement or security can be dispatched to review ATMs in alarm as well as the detection of attempts to remove skimming devices.

Anti-Skimming Technology for All Makes and Models

With Anti-Skim as part of your security program, you are better equipped to safeguard your ATM customers against skimming crimes. Our solution works on both motorized and non-motorized card readers. It can integrate seamlessly with branch security systems, such as intrusion detection alarm panels and video surveillance DVRs, providing a more effective, layered ATM security solution.

At the core of our Anti-SkimTM security solutions is:

CPK+ Jamming Transmitter

CPK+ helps prevent the skimming of card data by emitting an electromagnetic field to interrupt the operation of an illegal card-reader head, without interrupting the customer transaction or the operation of most ATMs.

Surface Detection Kit (SDK)

The SDK sensor helps detect foreign devices placed near or over the ATM card-entry slot, whether made of plastic, paper, iron or wood. Upon detection, our Anti-Skim relays output signals from the SDK. This will trigger silent alarms for monitoring center response or to coordinate DVR surveillance sequencing of skimming activities.
