Conexxus and ATM association develop anti-skimming guide

Conexxus and the National ATM Council (NAC) have jointly developed the ATM Skimming Detection & Deterrence Guide for U.S. convenience stores.

The guide was created to help ensure that America's convenience stores and retail ATM providers can provide safe and secure transactions at in-store ATMs, despite a heightened near term card "skimming" risk from current implementation of EMV.

“We wanted to proactively address this threat here – as we have with fuel island payment security - and maintain a continued skimming-free environment for our ATM customers going forward,” said Gray Taylor, Executive Director of Conexxus.

Conexxus and NAC will be coordinating distribution of their new anti-skimming Guide to their C-Store owner and ATM provider member bases throughout the U.S. for immediate use in detecting and deterring card skimming at their C-Store ATMs

“The Guide is an excellent and concise hands-on resource, with user-friendly and practical information that C-Store personnel and ATM providers can utilize in their daily operations as an added layer of protection for their customers' card information,” said Bruce Renard, Executive Director of NAC.
