PNB ATMSafe Can Help Bank Depositors Deal with ATM Theft

With the recent news of widespread ATM scams across the country, securing your ATM card has never been this necessary. As reported by various media outlets, hundreds of millions of pesos have already been lost in cases of card skimming or the duplications of cards and acquisition of Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) of unsuspecting ATM cardholders. In response to these scams, Pasig Rep. Roman T. Romulo filed House Bill 5036 or the “ATM Theft Insurance Act” which seeks to provide relief to ATM cardholders, particularly victims of card-skimming and theft, by giving them the option to avail of insurance for their accounts. Last February 10, 2015, the House Committee on Banks and Financial Intermediaries approved the bill.

Don’t be a Victim of ATM Theft with PNB’s ATMSafe

With the recent news of widespread ATM scams across the country, securing your ATM card has never been this necessary. As reported by various media outlets, hundreds of millions of pesos have already been lost in cases of card skimming or the duplications of cards and acquisition of Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) of unsuspecting ATM cardholders.

Skimming is usually done by placing a device that reads a cardholder’s information over the ATM card slot. This device is often paired with a hidden miniature camera that reads the user’s PIN. Once the card has been skimmed, the perpetrators can now create a fake ATM card and make unauthorized withdrawals and transactions on the cardholder’s account.

The Philippine National Bank (PNB), in partnership with the Global Benefits Group (GBG), PNB General Insurance Co., Inc. (PNB Gen) and Allied Bankers Insurance Corp.
