Everything you need to know about EMV chip cards
What is EMV?
EMV is an abbreviation for the companies who pioneered this more secure credit card solution (Europay, MasterCard, and Visa), but what it means for your store is a dramatic reduction in fraudulent transactions. EMV, or “chip cards,” is a replacement for the magnetic stripe on the back of your current credit cards. Now, customer payment data will be stored on a secure chip embedded in your cards. As a retailer, you need to upgrade your payment terminal by October 2015 in order to comply with new payment regulations that took effect Oct 1.
What happens if I don’t upgrade?
Traditional mag stripe cards are easy to duplicate and lead to a lot of fraud. To prevent this fraud, new regulations require all businesses to make the switch. Retailers who don’t make the switch to EMV technology can be held liable for fraudulent transactions that are made on non-EMV card readers. Upgrading means you will be using the most secure payment technology and you won’t be held liable for any fraudulent transactions.
