A method and an apparatus are provided for preventing the leakage of client information in banking automation equipment, such as an automated teller machine (ATM) or a cash dispenser (CD). More specifically, a method and an apparatus utilize infrared light-emitting elements that are generally attached on the periphery of the personal identification number (PIN) pad or a key pad. The infrared light is emitted at regular intervals when a user enters a password, thereby preventing a third party from capturing images of client password and financial transaction information using a camera. In addition, a peep-prevention shield can be installed on the periphery of the key (PIN) pad body to hide a motion of a user's hand, and more than one infrared light-emitting source can be mounted on an upper surface of the peep-prevention shield.
