Bangladesh Bank has mandated that all banks install anti-skimming device in their newly established ATM booths as part of reigning in card forgery.
Banks have to set up anti-skimming and pin-shield devices at newly established ATM booths within a month, said a circular Bangladesh Bank issued yesterday.
The move came in the wake of recent money withdrawal from some ATM booths through card forgery. The card was forged through skimming and pin capture device.
The banks have been asked to monitor the video footage of CC camera set at ATM booths and take necessary steps if any suspicious matter is found. Banks will check those cards used for transaction between February 7 and 9 to safeguard their customers.
They will also inform the customers of canceling their ATM cards and issue new cards accordingly.
