WHAT IS EMV COMPLIANCE?
EMV (“Europay, MasterCard and Visa”) is a technology standard developed in Europe in 1994. Essentially it’s a slightly different way to accept cards that leverages “smart cards” and “EMV compatible” terminals. Basically: You insert the front of the credit card into the terminal instead of swiping the card.
EMV has two intentions:
-
To decrease credit and debit card fraud on card-present transactions through increased security
-
To creates a consistent cardholder experience, worldwide through a global payments standard
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT EMV COMPLIANCE?
- If you aren’t EMV compatible after October 2015 and a customer disputes a charge for any reason – they’ll win the dispute. That means you’ll lose money.
- You will no longer be PCI compliant (soon) – and V/MC will assess a monthly fee.
