A self-service terminal can include a computing device, a display, a transceiver, a card module, an optical scanner, and a radiation source. The display can be in communication with the computing device and be controlled by the computing device. The computing device can be configured to transmit and receive data through the transceiver. The card module can have an intake and card reader configured to read a chip or a magnetic strip. At least part of a path of movement of the card through the self-service terminal can be defined by the card module. The scanner can be positioned on a first side of the path to capture an image of a first side of the card. The radiation source can emit radiation at an area of the card when the image is being captured.

A card reader includes a user-card-insertion slot operatively connected to user-card path. A data-reader is located in an interior of the card reader. A plate is located in the interior of the card reader. The plate is adjacent to the data-reader and interior to the user-card-insertion slot. The plate is configured to block the insertion of a skimming or shimming device and to bend during an attempt to remove the plate from the interior of the card reader. The plate may be configured such that a power connection between the plate and a circuit supplying power to the card reader may be broken during an attempt to remove the plate from the interior of the card reader.

In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein, an apparatus, comprising a bezel, a cover, and a thermally conductive, electrically isolating material. The cover comprises top and side surfaces, a cavity for receiving an optical device, a first opening for the optical device to obtain an image, and a second opening for allowing an electrical conductor to be coupled with the optical device. The thermally conductive, electrically isolating, material, is shaped in accordance with the shape of the optical device. The bezel and the cover protect the optical device from discharge currents. The thermally conductive, electrically isolating, material provides electrical isolation of the optical device from the cover and conducts heat from the optical device to the top and side surfaces of the cover.
