Network integrations · Meraki · Mist · Aruba · Ruckus · Cisco Spaces
Your existing Cisco Meraki, Juniper Mist, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, or Cisco Catalyst (via Cisco Spaces) access points can scan continuously for card skimmers near your payment terminals — no new hardware, no staff effort.
The access points are already listening. SkimGuard just tells you what they hear.
How it works
No installs, no lane computer, no daily walk. Your access points do the listening; SkimGuard does the classifying and the alerting. It covers whatever those APs already reach — checkout lanes and fuel islands, and equally the bar, the dining room, the concession stand, and the box office, where a busy crowd means nobody is going to notice a tampered reader.
Step 1
The wireless access points around your checkout lanes, fuel islands, bar, dining room, or concourse already see the Bluetooth devices nearby — it's part of how modern business Wi-Fi keeps track of what's on and around the network.
Step 2
Each access point forwards what it sees to SkimGuard, which classifies every Bluetooth advertisement around the clock — using the same detection engine that powers the SkimGuard app on millions of phones.
Step 3
If a skimmer is detected near a payment terminal, your team gets an alert in the SkimGuard dashboard within minutes — in time to pull the terminal before the next customer pays.
Supported networks
If your locations run any of these platforms, SkimGuard turns those access points into an always-on skimmer sensor — no new hardware. Cisco Meraki, Juniper Mist, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, and Cisco Catalyst (via Cisco Spaces) are all supported today.
Cloud-managed wireless used across retail, fuel, and multi-site chains. Set it up per location and it's live in minutes.
AI-driven cloud Wi-Fi common in larger retail and enterprise sites. Your Mist access points start watching for skimmers with nothing new to install.
Enterprise wireless widely deployed in retail and hospitality. Your existing Aruba access points become skimmer sensors — no new hardware.
High-density wireless built for busy public spaces. Ruckus access points give you always-on coverage on the Wi-Fi you already have.
Cisco Catalyst access points, via the Cisco Spaces platform. Same no-new-hardware coverage as Meraki, delivered over the Spaces streaming feed — your Catalyst APs start watching for skimmers with nothing new to install.

What it costs
Wi-Fi detection is part of the Automated tier — priced per location, with unlimited access points at each location, and the same rate whether you scan through your Wi-Fi or a desktop agent on your lane computers. See the full plan comparison on SkimGuard for Business.
Automated · per location
Your access points forward what they already see to SkimGuard, which classifies every Bluetooth advertisement around the clock — turning your Wi-Fi into an always-on sensor. It's the Automated tier, delivered over the Wi-Fi you already run.
graduated per location — down to $150/mo at 100+ · annual = 2 months free · unlimited access points
| Band | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| Locations 1–5 | $250/mo | $2,500/yr |
| Locations 6–25 | $210/mo | $2,100/yr |
| Locations 26–99 | $175/mo | $1,750/yr |
| Locations 100–499 | $150/mo | $1,500/yr |
| 500+ locations | Contact sales | Contact sales |
All rates per location. All access points at a location are included — no per-AP charge. Annual is the same rate for ten months, so two months are free. SkimGuard Handheld is included for the same location at no extra charge.
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Card is required to start the trial; we don't charge until the trial ends. Cancel anytime from the billing portal.
Handheld or Automated
SkimGuard comes in two tiers: staff-driven Handheld scanning, or always-on Automated coverage. Network integrations are one of the two ways to run Automated — the other is a desktop agent on your lane computers — and both cost exactly the same. Riding the Wi-Fi you already have means around-the-clock detection with zero new hardware.
| How each tier runs | Handheld | Automated (via your Wi-Fi) |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs it | Your staff scan | Your Wi-Fi scans |
| New hardware | None — a phone | None — your existing APs |
| Daily effort | A manual walk of every terminal | None |
| Coverage | When someone scans | Continuous, wherever Wi-Fi reaches |
| Best for | Pumps, ATMs, bars, small-format | Sites already on business Wi-Fi |
Both tiers share the same operator alerts, team dashboard, and verified safety-map badge — pick per location, and mix them across your sites. Automated can also run as a desktop agent on your lane computers at the same price. Compare the tiers on SkimGuard for Business.
For partners
SkimGuard partners can set network integrations up on a merchant's behalf — provision a customer's existing access points, hand off a co-branded account, and earn recurring commission on every location. It's a natural add-on revenue path for anyone already deploying business Wi-Fi.
