⚠️ Important Security Notice: Protect Your Business From Credit Card Skimmers

We want to share an important reminder to help keep your business, your customers, and your payment equipment safe.

Credit card skimmers are illegal devices criminals attach to payment terminals to steal card information. These devices can capture data from the magnetic stripe or chip on a card, and in some cases, hidden cameras or fake keypads are used to capture PIN numbers. Skimmers are commonly found on gas pumps, ATMs, and unfortunately, even on retail and restaurant point-of-sale terminals.

🔒 What You Should Do

To protect your business, we strongly recommend checking your pin pads and card readers regularly.

Here are simple steps to stay safe:

✔️ Inspect the Terminal Daily

Look for anything loose, uneven, or unusual around the card slot, keypad, or tamper seal.

✔️ Check for Glue, Tape, or Attachments

Skimmers are often placed over the real reader. If anything looks added or doesn’t match your equipment, do not use the device.

✔️ Verify Tamper Seals

If your terminal has a security sticker, make sure it has not been cut, lifted, or replaced.

✔️ Monitor Customer Complaints

If customers report odd card activity or errors when inserting a card, inspect the unit immediately.
