ATM Upgrade Schedule
What is ATM Fraud?
- Know Your Environment
When using an ATM, look out for anything suspicious in your surroundings. Make sure there is good lighting and nobody is hovering around you. Don’t accept assistance from anyone appearing to offer you a helping hand. Never let your children use an ATM on your behalf.
- Shoulder Surfing
This is when someone stands behind you and watches you enter your PIN.
- Card Swapping
This is when a fraudster manages to swap your card with one so similar that you can't tell the difference.
- Card Trapping
This is when a trapping device is inserted into an ATM card slot, stopping your card from being returned to you. While you try to get your card back, an accomplice, pretending to be a random person walking by, offers to help. He or she will ask you to put in your PIN again, making note of the numbers, and watch you walk away in frustration as your card remains in the machine. They will then remove your card from the machine and make withdrawals from your account using your memorised PIN.
- Be Ready
Have your card out when you get to an ATM and avoid opening your handbag or wallet while standing there. Focus on completing your transaction without distractions.
- Cover Your PIN
Always cover the keypad with one hand when entering your PIN and don’t let anybody see it.
- Check the ATM
If the machine seems tampered with or the card slot is loose or seems more bulky than usual, do not use it. Your card should fit smoothly and easily into the slot, don't force it. If you are struggling to insert your card, use another ATM. Always lookout for strange objects or foreign materials attached to the machine.
- Report Any Issues
If you suspect foul play, or your card has been retained by an ATM, call BNF Bank on (+356) 2260 1000 or (+356) 2260 1500 to block your card immediately.
