Comment on One transaction only at the ATM
Nougat@fedia.io 1 day agoI've seen machines that still hold the card so it can't be removed (even though it remains visible), and will only release the card before completing whatever transaction you've asked it to do. This is 100% a "we're not taking responsibility for you leaving your card in the machine" thing.

Yeah, and I think those little traps can be defeated by thieves. Not sure of the details but it’s not secure like when the thing would just swallow your card

That card lock isn't to keep someone else from stealing your card, it's to make you take it. As long as the machine will only do what you've asked after you take your card, the bank isn't responsible for your card at all.

I’m not familiar with their security but was just thinking about the little “click” that keeps your card in place while they read the “chip”
