Hidden from view

Skimmers sit inside the reader. Even a careful manager can't see them by looking.

Easy for any employee

If they can use a phone, they can do a check. No tech skills, no IT help.

Proof you care

A clear daily record shows your bank, your processor, and your customers that you take their cards seriously.

How it works

Three simple steps.

1

Add your readers

List each pump, register, and handheld in the app. It takes a few minutes, one time.

2

Check each day

Staff walk up to each reader and tap Scan. About 30 seconds each. The app tells them right away if something looks wrong.

3

Keep the record

Every check is saved with who, when, and what they found. Print or download it whenever someone asks.

Pricing

Premium protection. A small monthly price.

Dealing with just one skimmer can cost far more than a year of SkimGuard: card disputes, calls from your bank, and customers who stop coming back. Each store is its own plan, priced by how many card readers it has.

Made for your kind of store

How SkimGuard fits your day.

Gas stations

Pumps are outside and on their own for hours. A quick daily check gives you peace of mind between visits.

  • Check every pump at opening or shift change
  • Add a photo when you look inside a pump
  • Stop using a pump right away if something looks wrong

Grocers & EBT/SNAP stores

Your customers count on every dollar. A checked reader is a quiet way to look after them.

  • Check every lane and self-checkout daily
  • Keep a list of every reader, spares too
  • Show a "SkimGuard Protected" badge customers can see

Small shops

One or two readers on the counter? Protection that takes less time than counting the drawer.

  • 30-second check at open and close
  • Short staff training included
  • One flat price, no equipment

Your inspection log

A simple record that you check your readers.

If your bank, processor, insurer, or an inspector asks how you look after your card readers, just hand them the log.

What SkimGuard finds

  • Skimmers that send card data through the air, including ones hidden inside pumps and terminals
  • Missed or late checks across your stores

What it can't find

  • Skimmers that don't send anything, like some fake card slots or swapped readers. Keep taking a quick look too.
  • An all-clear means nothing was found. It is not a guarantee.

SkimGuard detects card skimmers that transmit a wireless signal. A clear check is a good sign, not a guarantee. Take a quick look at the reader before you pay, too.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need IT help?

No. Put the app on an Android phone, invite your staff, and add your readers. Most stores are set up in a few minutes.

How long does a check take?

About 30 seconds per reader. A store with 10 readers can be done in about 5 minutes.

What if we find something?

Stop using that reader and have a manager take a look. The warning is saved in your log with the time and who found it, so you have a clear record to share with your bank or card processor.

I have more than one store. How does pricing work?

Each store is its own plan. Pick Small Business or Standard for each one, based on how many readers it has.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime from your billing page. There's no contract. If it's not right for you in the first 30 days, we'll refund your first month in full.

Bigger operation?

Many stores, or checking around the clock

Running 10 or more stores, a franchise, or want checks that run all day on their own? Tell us what you run and we'll come back with a plan within one business day.
