EMV Standard

The EMV Standard is a global security technology for payment cards and point-of-sale systems. It uses embedded chips in cards instead of magnetic strips, making transactions more secure. When you make a purchase, the chip creates a unique code for that specific transaction, reducing the risk of fraud. EMV helps protect both consumers and merchants by preventing counterfeit card use and unauthorized transactions. Essentially, it enhances the security and reliability of electronic payments worldwide, ensuring safer and more trusted card-based purchases.
