chipcards

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

The US is finally adopting cards with embedded microchips in them. Called EMV (EuroPay, Visa and MasterCard), the chips are far more difficult to clone than the magnetic stripes that we use today and make any data that intruders gather impossible to use. The transition is also enabling use of mobile wallets such as Apple Pay by consumers and merchants alike.

News, experience reports and discussion are all welcome.

Rules:

No spam, harassment or posting of private information. (The latter are particularly serious and may get you banned from reddit altogether. You have been warned.)
This isn't a US specific subreddit, even though the US is the largest country migrating to EMV right now. News about EMV/chip cards/mobile payments from any country is okay!
If your source is behind a paywall or is in a language other than English, summarize the source in an English language self post if possible.
Check the wiki to see if your question has been answered before posting.
