Unfortunately, card skimming is on the rise in PNG. Here’s what you need to know: Card skimming is the devious act of installing devices on EFTPOS or ATM machines. Then it can steal your card info or PIN number when you make a transaction on those machines. But you can take a few simple steps to help protect yourself. We call it the TRIPLE C method:
- CRITICALLY inspect devices when you make a transaction. Look for any strange or unusual coverings or other objects on ATM slots or on
EFTPOS machines.
- COVER your keypad with your hand when you enter your PIN.
- CHECK your transactions on your statements regularly and flag anything suspicious to Kina Bank right away.
If you or anyone you know has been impacted by card skimming, please call us immediately on 308 3800 or 180 1525.
