The company’s SAFE (Secure Anti-Fraud Enhanced) system is engineered for the Opteva ATM models. The system features a proprietary detection algorithm that allows a sensor to discriminate between different types of skimmers, environmental factors and cardholder activity and ultimately reduce false alarms.
When a skimmer is attached to an ATM, the detector will send out an alert, which financial institutions can direct either to the branch alarm system or to the ATM network monitoring system.
