Gemalto outlines the security benefits of move to EMV chip cards for US Financial Issuers
03 February 2015 - 4:00AM
The countdown for U.S. banks and merchants to migrate to EMV is
well underway and 2015 is shaping up to be a pivotal year in the
payments industry. Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653), the world
leader in digital security, is discussing the impact of mobile,
contactless card technology and data security at the upcoming Smart
Card Alliance Payment Summit, February 3rd-5th 2015. Experts from
Gemalto will cover topics surrounding EMV and fraud protection,
security for mobile payments highlighting what Mobile EMV brings to
the consumer, and the considerations for the future.
With over half of Americans concerned about the security of
their data, the move to chip and PIN or chip and signature card
technology brings U.S. consumers a higher level of protection at
the point-of-sale. As EMV becomes widely prevalent across the U.S,
cardholders and banks will reap the benefits of reduced fraud.
Early adopters of EMV have seen significant reductions in fraud
with counterfeit card fraud in some countries dropping by 91% and
fraud from card theft decreasing by 98%1.
Drawing on its extensive experience with global EMV deployments
and in issuing over three billion EMV smart cards, Gemalto is
currently working with U.S. banks on one of the largest EMV
migrations in the history of the payments. During the conference,
Gemalto experts will add unique perspectives to the conversation
providing insights into the convergence of banking and technology
and the role of security in an increasingly digital era.
