UK supermarket bank beefs up ATM security
(28 June 2006 – UK) British supermarket bank Tesco is set to spend £3 million on increasing ATM security.
Tesco Personal Finance is investing in a number of improvements including anti- skimming devices, better in-store security, and closed circuit television across its network of 1,900 ATMs.
The security enhancements will be rolled out across the country in stages.
Tesco Personal Finance director of operations, Duncan McKinnell, said ATM networks were being increasingly targeted and that the £3 million investment in boosting security was money well spent.
"Customers used our ATMs over 300 million times last year and we want every one of them to feel secure in their use. We believe our investment combined with our customer’s own vigilance will help us stay one step ahead of the fraudsters," McKinnel said.
