SkimGuard lets anyone scan for credit card skimmers at gas stations, ATMs, and stores — and gives businesses the tools to find and remove threats before their customers are put at risk.
Free for everyone — iOS & Android
Credit card skimming steals over $1 billion from Americans every year. Most victims never know their card was compromised until fraudulent charges appear days later. SafeSignals builds technology that puts detection in everyone's hands — free, immediate, and community-powered.
One app. Two audiences. Real-time protection whether you're a shopper checking before you pay or a business protecting your customers.
Use your phone's Bluetooth and RF sensors to scan for skimming devices at any payment terminal. Report detections to warn others. Get notified before you walk into a compromised location.
Free to download and use. Business subscriptions available for enhanced features.
Dedicated hardware sensors that automate continuous scanning in the background — no phone required. Designed for businesses that want always-on protection without manual scanning steps.
SkimGuard uses your phone's wireless capabilities to analyze the RF and Bluetooth signals around any payment terminal. A scan takes seconds.
Our algorithm classifies signals against known skimming device signatures. Suspicious detections are flagged immediately and cross-referenced with community reports.
Businesses with subscriptions receive a private alert first and have 2 hours to remove the device before the public is notified. Consumers nearby get an automatic location warning.
SkimGuard is free to download and use. Business subscribers get the tools to stay ahead of detections and protect their reputation.
How the grace period works: When a skimmer is detected at your location, you receive a private alert immediately. You have 2 hours from that alert (or 2 hours from your next store opening if detected overnight) to remove the device and resolve the alert — before any public notification is issued. Store hours are verified via Google Places.
Every scan and every report makes the network stronger. SkimGuard works because users everywhere are scanning, and every detection protects the next person who walks in.
Businesses aren't always the villains — they're often victims too. Our grace period gives responsible operators a real chance to fix the problem before their customers are alarmed.
No hidden data collection. No selling user information. Detection data is used to protect the community — nothing else. Our privacy policy says so plainly.
SkimGuard is free for everyone. Download now and start protecting yourself — and others — from skimmer fraud.
