Card-based machines and payment terminals are secure

Card-based machines and payment terminals in Switzerland generally have high security standards. But there is no such thing as 100% security. This is why card-based machines are checked regularly and fitted with the latest security technology.

It is still important to pay attention at ticket machines.

PIN code and behaviour are crucial
Skimming is only possible when thieves know the PIN code. Card holders are therefore instructed to exercise their duty of care, to always cover entry of their PIN code and not disclosing it to others. Information on using and protecting PIN codes is available in Tips for card holders.
