About EMV

Screen Shot 2016-04-26 at 8.56.52 AM

EMV ‘chip’ debit cards offer an embedded microchip, which offers powerful new security. This chip holds information that is encrypted, making it extremely difficult for the card to be copied or counterfeited. Rather than swiping your card, chip cards are inserted and held in a chip-enabled terminal to complete your transaction, this allows the terminal to communicate with the microchip.
