EMV® and NFC Contactless Payments
EMV® stands for Europay, MasterCard, and Visa, the credit card behemoths who dominate the sector and developed the global standard for chip-based security. An EMV chip is the small, square computer chip embedded in your credit and debit cards and you "Insert or dip" than "swipe" at the register these days. These chips are able to create a unique transaction code for each purchase. If someone tries to steal this code, it is worthless because it is valid for a single use.
EMV cards are designed to prevent counterfeit credit card fraud, which can be a problem with traditional magnetic strip cards. The data on that magnetic strip could be copied very easily and used within hours at other business locations, with minimal opportunity to stop. The victim’s cards are used few times before they become aware and report their misuse.
In 2015, credit card and data breaches climbed all the way compromising over a billion records. The majority of that fraud happened within United States borders. 49% of cross-border fraud happened within the U.S. too. America’s slow adoption of EMV chip cards was blamed for that too. When EU deployed credit card chip technology, their counterfeit fraud rates declined by 72%. Now that the U.S. has, at last, made the transition, fraud dropped 76% due to this Chip upgrade.
NFC payments are contactless payments that use near-field communication (NFC) technology to exchange data between readers and payment devices like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay. Each card has a contactless NFC chip and radio frequency (RFID) antenna, which is why they’re sometimes called RFID credit cards or RFID chip credit cards.
When you’re shopping with a contactless card you waive it over the terminal, the NFC chips card uses radio frequencies and a one-time code to complete the transaction. The checkout is lightning-fast, encrypted and both convenient and secure. No swiping of a magnetic stripe, and no insertion of a chip. Payments are encrypted and highly secure.
