EMV Chip Cards

What does the changeover
means to you ?

What does the
Changeover mean to you?

If your business accepts credit cards in person, and you do NOT have an EMV terminal, all liability has shifted to your business. Previously it has fallen on the issuing bank.

1

EMV (Chip Card) is a fraud-reducing technology

that can help protect merchants and consumers against losses from the use of counterfeit and lost or stolen payment cards at the point of sale.

2

Chip cards use a new encryption for every sale

making sales more secure.

3

If you are still using the magnetic stripe

only devices and your customer has an EMV enabled card, you are liable for any fraud that may result from that transaction.

4

In 2017 liability shifts for Automated Fuel Dispensers

5

In 2015 The EMV liability shift was implemented

to encourage retail merchants to increase card security and reduce counterfeit fraud.

What Am I Liable For?

If a customer disputes a charge, you will automatically lose and will be responsible for paying the charge back.

Will I Still Be Able to Accept
Credit Cards That Don’t
Have a Chip?

Yes, your EMV terminal also has a mag stripe reader that you can use if the card does not have a chip, and if that card happens to be fraudulent or counterfeit you will NOT be held responsible, because you have an EMV terminal.
