Thank you for the tip as well.
I almost never use an ATM as it is.

“even if you don’t swipe your card”
Video say tapping your card prevents shimming
Skimmers suck.
Wouldn’t break my heart if they all had “accidents” while attempting to rip off people.

Video say tapping your card prevents shimmingYeah, tapping your card can lead to other issues.
If you don't actively close out your account after your transaction after tapping rather than inserting your card, it may keep your account open for additional transactions. With the card inserted, once you finish your transactions and get your card back, your account is closed. But with tapping, and depending on your bank, it may not close when your transaction is complete.

But think of the convenience which is lost if we have to go back to personal service. Crooks always find a way to steal from you.

What is “tapping” your card? I have never heard the term.
How will that stop the thieves?

Thief disables insertion slot then helps you to tap your card ang gets your PIN.
Each transaction requires reentering your PIN. Don’t get distracted by helpful strangers!

Indeed. Just ask the Clintons.
