EMV payment training and consultancy company? Wondering what all the fuss is about with EMV-certified terminals? Since the liability shift both providers and businesses have scrambled to obtain compliant equipment. Designed to decrease fraud, the EMV terminal reads the unique, one-time code generated when a chip card is inserted. This is a distinct process that requires a separate slot for inserting a chip card compared to the component used for swiping magstripe cards.

EMV Authorization Methods In addition to using the card in the merchant’s terminal to make a purchase, Chip and Signature requires a written signature like magnetic stripe transactions. Chip and PIN is used for debit cards and may also be used for credit cards. See smart card and gold chipped supercomputer.

EMV vs. Magnetic Stripe Transactions. Unlike magnetic stripe transactions, where typically only the card’s track 2 data containing the card number and expiry date is processed, every chip card transaction contain dozens of pieces of information to be exchanged between the card, the terminal and the acquiring bank or processors host.
