Lloyds TSB is to introduced anti-fraud measures at its ATMs to prevent customer details from being copied.

 

The anti-skimming devices are to be fitted following a survey to gauge the concerns of consumers over ATM security.

 

More than three quarters claimed to be concerned about fraudsters stealing their card details. One in ten (13%) said that they use cash machines less frequently as a result.

 

Matthew Timms, Internet and ATM director at the bank explained: "There are over two billion ATM cash withdrawals every year and while the vast majority of these are problem free, there is no room for complacency.

 

"We are doing everything we can to ensure that our cash machines are safe to use but we also need customers' help and we urge people to be vigilant when using cash machines and report anything suspicious by either using the 24 hour phone number we provide on our ATM screens or by contacting the police."
