• What is ATM Skimming ?

  ATM skimming is when someone illegally copies your account details from the magnetic strip on your credit or debit card when you use an ATM. Card skimming can also happen when you use EDC machine while doing payment on a merchant.

  The fraudster then uses your details to create a fake or ‘cloned’ card. In most cases, they use the fake card and PIN to withdraw money from an ATM either within Indonesia or overseas.

  How do skimming devices work?

  For ATM skimming, a fraudster attaches:

  • Skimming device over the card entry slot to capture your card details, and
  • Camera to see the keypad and capture your PIN.

  For EDC skimming, the fraudster captures your card details and PIN by replacing a genuine EDC device with a tampered device which looks and works like a normal EDC device.

  EDC skimming is difficult to detect and will not be identified until we, or you, find irregular transactions on your account.

  What is the Bank Commonwealth doing to protect customer’s account from ATM skimming?

  We take card skimming very seriously and use leading edge technologies that:

  • Monitor ATM machine 24 hours and detect if someone has attached a skimming device to an ATM. If so our Security will immediately go to the location to completely check the ATM machine and ensure the skimming device is found,
  • Monitor and analyze your transactions 24 hours a day. If a suspicious transaction is found, then one of our fraud analysts will contact you to confirm the transaction and prevent any further losses.

  We also constantly monitor both local and international fraud trends to make sure we are aware of the latest scamming developments.

  Warning signs — what should customers look out for?

  You can identify warning signs indicating ATM skimming through these:

  • Does the ATM look like it normally does – can you see any unusual additions, marks or physical changes?
  • Are there any signs that someone has tampered with the ATM? Please be alert when you see any glue residue, exposed wires, pieces of double-sided tape, etc.
  • You notice something suspicious about the card slot on an ATM (e.g. an attached device).
  • A shop assistant takes your card out of your sight to process your transaction.
  • A shop assistant asks you to swipe your card through more than one EDC machine.
  • You notice unusual or unauthorized transactions on your account statement.

  If you notice any of these warning signs, DO NOT do any further transaction and contact Call Commbank 115000 30 and (62 21) 15000 30 for access international
