How it works
ATMs in less-monitored locations in the Hawalli and Farwaniya commercial areas have been subject to skimming device installation. Kuwait's high cash usage culture and the prevalence of foreign workers using ATMs for remittances make these areas higher-risk than central Kuwait City banking districts.
