A skimmer looks exactly like your real hardware.
Criminals attach skimmers to card readers in under a minute — at the pump, the register, the ATM, the reader behind your bar. A customer can’t spot one, and the business where it turns up is the one that wears the fallout: chargebacks, bad reviews, and lost trust that’s hard to win back.
In 2025, skimmers compromised 243,000+ U.S. debit cards — up more than 90% year over year, according to FICO. New to skimming? Our plain-English guides show how it happens and how to check a reader.
What SkimGuard does
Detect skimmers. Protect your reputation. Keep your records straight.
Three things that matter to a business running card readers — in one simple app your team can use on day one, with no new hardware to buy.
Detect skimmers
Your staff check a reader with a quick handheld scan that listens for the wireless signals skimmers give off. Between checks, always-on monitoring keeps watch over the Wi-Fi you already run. It finds skimmers that transmit — a clear scan is a strong sign, not a guarantee.
Protect your reputation
Show customers you’re watching. Locations that check earn a “Protected by SkimGuard” status, and the community safety map steers people toward businesses that take it seriously — so you catch a problem quietly, before it spreads.
Keep your records straight
Every reader and every check is logged and can’t be edited later — the kind of record an auditor asks to see, exportable in one tap. Staff training in 22 languages is included. It helps you meet the operational requirements around payment terminals; it isn’t a certification on its own.
How it builds trust
Turn a 30-second check into customers who choose you.
Checking your readers protects your customers — and when you put that on display, it brings people through your door.
Step 1
Check readers in seconds
Your staff check each card terminal with a quick scan on the phone they already carry. No new hardware, no training day.
Step 2
Put safety on display
Earn a “SkimGuard Protected” badge and a spot on the public safety map, so shoppers can see you check your readers before they pull in.
Step 3
Win customer loyalty
Shoppers see you take their safety seriously — and choose the store that watches out for them over the one that doesn’t.
Live now
The safety map people already check.
