Be ready for the switch to chip cards and NFC.
The way your customers pay is changing. This means big changes for your business. But we’ve got you covered.
Chip cards are in. Magstripe cards are out.
Magnetic-stripe cards use outdated technology, making them susceptible to counterfeiting. Cards with embedded chip (EMV) technology are more secure than magstripe, and are becoming the new standard.
The EMV liability shift is coming.
Come October, you could be on the hook for certain types of fraudulent transactions if you’re not set up to accept chip cards.
NFC is on the rise.
Major retailers across the country now accept Apple Pay and other forms of contactless (NFC) payments. Soon, customers everywhere will want to pay with just the tap of a phone or watch.
Haven't even heard of that?
