The 411 - EMV

VISA

411EMV stands for Europay, Mastercard, and Visa, which are the three organizations that developed the EMV standard for payment cards. EMV is a technology used for credit and debit card transactions that provides enhanced security features over traditional magnetic stripe cards.

EMV cards have a microprocessor chip embedded in them, which generates a unique code for each transaction, making it much more difficult for fraudsters to counterfeit or skim the card. This chip technology is much more secure than traditional magnetic stripe cards, which can be easily copied or compromised.

EMV has become the global standard for payment cards and is widely used in many countries. In addition to the enhanced security features, EMV cards may also offer additional benefits, such as faster transaction processing and the ability to support other types of payments, such as contactless payments.
