Road trip season means more stops at unfamiliar gas stations and more chances for card skimmers to strike and steal your financial information.

Before you tap or insert your card:

  • Check for loose or bulky card readers
  • Watch for fake keypads
  • Always cover your PIN

Stay one step ahead and fraud. When in doubt, don’t insert your card.
