Westfield Bank | Fraud awareness: credit card skimming

The threat of credit card skimming  Think of all the places you’ve swiped, tapped, or inserted your credit or debit card lately. At the grocery store, gas pump, ATM, or any other in-person transaction you’ve completed, there’s a chance you’ve been exposed to the threat of credit card skimming. Also known as credit card overlay, skimming is a type of financial crime in which your card information is stolen from a payment terminal.
