June 2015 Luncheon: EMV in the U.S.: Putting It into Perspective for Merchants and Financial Institutions

For almost two decades, interest in a chip-based payment standard such as EMV barely reached a simmer in the United States. Recently some of the card brands signaled their intentions to support EMV-enabled payments in the U.S. and now the country’s collective interest is heating up. Merchants, financial institutions, and every other organization with a stake in the electronic payments process want to understand the impacts of such a standard. Clearly there is a need to reduce card fraud and increase security in the U.S. market. Learn what the changes are and how they will impact you and your clients.
