/ Blog / Protecting Against Debit Card Fraud
September 1, 2022
Pop quiz… Can you be a victim of debit card fraud if you still physically have the card in your possession? The answer is yes! White card skimming isn’t new, recent skimming incidences should serve as a reminder to protect your debit and credit cards every time you swipe them. Skimmers are devices that capture the data from the magnetic stripe on your card. Criminals target ATMs because if they can get a card and a PIN, they can get cash. They can transfer the data to a blank card and use it to make transactions, causing serious financial damage. They can find out what your PIN is by setting up tiny cameras on or near the ATM and watching as you key in your code. So how do you protect yourself? Follow these useful tips and you’ll be on your way.
In addition, remember to check your balances on a regular basis so that you can notify your financial institution as soon as you suspect something is amiss. You can reach Fidelity Bank at 1-800-388-4380 seven days a week.
