EMV

What is EMV?

EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard, and Visa. EMV chips are also called SmartCards or Chip Cards. The card looks just like the cards we are used to today, however a small microchip or “Chip” is embedded. It’s a more secure way of accepting payment.

A New Way to Accept Cards

The card instead of being swiped, is inserted (or dipped), and the card is read by the impression of the chip. Now the reader and the card can have a 2 way communication to ensure an authentic transaction takes place.

Summary

In simplicity, it’s an embedded microchip in each card that will be used instead of the magnetic stripe we all know so well. The goal is to protect against fraudulent transactions.

Why EMV?

In early 2012 Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express all announced their EMV migration plans for the US. Since that announcement, many card issuers and banks moved forward in creating cards with EMV technology.

EMV will carry a “Liability Shift” to the merchant in the case the transaction takes place from a non EMV environment. Merchants will be responsible for fraud transactions once the “Liability Shift” takes place. See dates set below:
