I am just trying to help out after reading on here last year that someone's card reader had expired and they couldnt get a new one from their UK bank. Others posted similarly. I return to the UK every summer, and after switching banks a few times, which is quite lucrative in the UK, I have 3 card readers to spare. No one will be asked to provide me with their bank details.

SunsetT Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 28 minutes ago, DezLez said: Wrong! Don't fall the potential scam! From your own link: The first thing to know (which might put you somewhat at ease) is that these card readers do not store any of your details on the device itself. Whenever you slip in your card or punch in your PIN, you can rest assured knowing that the reader isn't holding onto any of that. This is good news for those worried about mobile online banking. Basically, by requiring a card reader for certain actions, you're forced to carry that card reader around with you if you ever want to perform those actions while on the go. Some card readers are universal, meaning they can read and generate codes for any EMV card, as long as the card is compatible with the reader's online bank. So in that sense, you could use someone else's card reader when necessary, and their reader wouldn't store anything about your account or card.

Of course, this is a potential problem for any kind of physical reader, as seen with ATM scam tactics."
