Phishing is an illegal action to get personal information such as User ID, PIN, account number, and/or ATM card number and use it in purpose of fraud and criminal action.
Phishing can be done in several ways, for instance:
- Using a fake email address to request account data with reason of repair / upgrade the system or verification reasons.
- Using a fake website that is similar to the official website of the Bank Commonwealth.
- Send a filling form to gather customer’s data such as ID details, PIN, account number, and/or ATM card number.
- An unauthorized request to “Synchronize Token” while logging in to Internet Banking or Mobile Banking
To make sure your account and transactions are always safe from Phishing, here are several tips to prevent the activity:
- Always visit official website of Bank Commonwealth by directly typing www.commbank.co.id on browser’s address bar. Do not click any link attached to unofficial email on behalf of Commonwelath Bank.
- Make sure that you have updated anti-virus and spyware and always do routine system scanning.
- Never share your PIN or password through email, phone, or SMS to anyone (including one who identified himself as authorized bank’s employee).

- Using ATMs
Let us be aware of ATM frauds and be alert of its warning signs by understanding this ATM skimming info.
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.
