The thieves, who are believed to have been operating in the country for about two weeks, installed card skimmers and small cameras on ATMs around Amman, using these devices to collect customers’ bank card information and withdraw money from their accounts. No figures were available on the amount of stolen money.
The 12 are believed to be part of a network of ATM thieves working in several countries in the region, said Public Security Department Spokesperson Major Mohammad Khatib. Read the rest of this entry »

Credit Union Hits the Streets With Mobile ATM
The $701 million Dupont Community Credit Union, headquartered in Waynesboro, Va., has taken banking to its community’s streets and outdoor events through a mobile ATM.
The machine, which can run from a propane generator if no electrical line is available, uses wireless, encrypted communications to offer cash services far from a branch or stationary ATM, the credit union explained.
DCCU said the mobile ATM has been seen at a local hunting show, a community relay race, 4th of July celebrations, a parks and recreation community day, and will be at local county fairs in August. It was even used for several weeks at one of DCCU’s offices when the existing drive-up ATMs needed to be replaced.
“Right now our focus is getting it out in the community (DCCU serves six counties, five cities) as much as possible this summer to increase awareness of DCCU. Long term our goal is to possibly find a viable location to serve our members when it’s not at a community event,” explained Susan Cook, DCCU’s vice president of marketing. DCCU also has included use of the Mobile ATM in its business continuity plans, the credit union added.
ATM plus CreditCard Security Congress in the Principality of Monaco
ATM plus CreditCard Security Congress in the Principality of Monaco
Personally I am beginning to check if it would make sense to create and establish an annual ATM security conference in the Principality of Monaco. Monaco is the ideal place for a prestigious conference. Monaco is deeply involved in any form of money related businesses. We have an enormous concentration of high potentials from the banking industry at Monaco. So I believe that Monaco is the perfect location for an ATM security related conference. Sure I have the best links inside Monaco to be able to organize an event like that.
What do you think about? Who would be interested to come to Monaco for an ATM / CreditCard security related conference? We can discuss it here and of course you are welcome to send me a personal message using the contact form..
