I could be wrong but i would think the ONLY way this would happen is thieves who copy the actual card itself at the point of transaction ( i.e. swipe/atm ). This must be rather rare and couldnt affect epassporte more than any other institution right ? i don't see how there could be a sudden increase unless its an epassporte employee or someone snagging the cards before they reach their destination .. in these cases i would think epassporte has a problem

Just out of curiosity , if an atm is duped and found does visa reimburse you anything for the stolen transactions ?
