6 EMV Cards Chipping Away at Fraud Why Are They Better? Nearly impossible to clone an EMV card. The chip has strong cryptography and elaborate key management to digitally sign payment data to ensure transaction integrity. Each transaction carries a unique digital code (produced by the chip) which prevents the transaction data from being fraudulently reused, even if it is stolen from a merchant s or processor s database. Stolen card data cannot be reused at an EMV terminal without the original chip to generate the necessary code. 6

7 EMV Cards Chipping Away at Fraud What Happened When They Were Introduced? 45% of the World s payment cards are EMV 1.62 billion cards (not including the U.S.). 76% of the World s payment terminals are EMV 23.8 million terminals. After the EU completed its migration to EMV, the region has seen an 80% reduction in credit card fraud while the US saw a 47% increase.

9 EMV Cards PIN or Signature Which Card Verification Method (CVM) is best? Versus Signature, PIN CVM is most secure 60% of the EMV cards worldwide Debate is around the issuer s decision regarding online and offline transactions With PIN, cardholders will be able to make a payment both online and offline, without issues. With Signature, online transactions are fine but offline transactions may cause problems. The transaction may be below the offline limit and declined especially in Chip and PIN countries. If the signature is not checked then this is effectively a payment without any authentication anyway much like we see today Visa is backing Chip and Signature MasterCard, Discover and American Express are backing Chip and PIN Mike Cook, AT for Wal-Mart, called signature worthless as a form of authentication and criticized the rollout of chip-and-signature cards in the United States. 9

11 EMV Cards Liability Shift The liability shift has a $10B potential price tag October 1, 2015 The entity with the lesser technology loses 11 A merchant using the swipe and signature terminal and the customer has an EMV card - the merchant is liable. A merchant has a chip enabled terminal but the bank hasn t issued the customer an EMV card - the bank is liable. Aite Group reported that 34% merchants interviewed late last year had never heard of the U.S. move to EMV. One Issuer said We don t really think we can teach Americans to do two things at once. So we re going to start with teaching them how to dip, and if we have another watershed event like the Target breach and consumers start clamoring for PIN, then we ll adjust.
