Chip Card Point-of-Sale Terminals

According to Visa, MasterCard® and Interac®, the majority of debit and credit cards will be chip-enabled by 2010. What does this mean for your business? Having a point-of-sale terminal that accepts a chip card will become the new standard, and non-compliant terminals will need to be replaced.

Chip Card FAQs:

What is a chip card?

It is a plastic payment card (debit/credit) that has microchip technology.

What is actually on the chip?

The microchip stores cardholder information, such as the cardholder's account number.

How does it work?

Instead of the current signature process, cardholders enter a PIN to authorize the transaction.

Is it secure?

You can sleep tight, because chip cards are virtually impossible to duplicate.

How does it benefit a business owner?

Increased checkout speeds, better protection from fraud, less employee responsibility, and being part of a global standard.
