ATM Safety Information
-
In view of the increasing numbers of ATM card skimming cases around the world, we would like to advise our card users to be extra cautious when using the ATM, locally or overseas.
Recent unauthorised ATM withdrawals have occurred in United Kingdom, Thailand and Europe.
In Singapore, we are in the process of installing this new security device on all our ATMs to prevent your card information from being skimmed:

News only got announce they will be testing it at a few selected ATMs only. It's not official. If all goes well, it will be implemented. That's a few months ago I think. Can't remember.Originally posted by monoslayer:if they wanna implement tis thingy, how come they dun make a official announcement n install in all the ATMs? -

Since nobody knows which ATM supposed to have or not.
