With EMV deadline approaching, Oberthur aims to educate merchants, consumers

Wednesday 12 August 2015 09:28 CET | News

Oberthur Technologies (OT), a global supplier of EMV products, has launched a blog called Chip Card Insider, to help educate merchants and consumers on EMV chip technology.

The blog aims to be a resource to those who are concerned about the EMV shift, and provides a spot for them to ask questions. OT will also use the blog to review how EMV acts as a more secure technology to manage payment authentication, verification and authorization.

Currently, issuers pick up the costs associated with card-present fraud in stores, but following the October 1 deadline, that liability will be shifted to those organizations that chose not to upgrade to EMV. This means that for fraud that occurs when a chip card is used, the merchant will have to pay for the fraud costs, instead of the issuer.

Currently has three certified EMV manufacturing and service facilities in the U.S., which are part of a network of 7 manufacturing facilities and 40 personalization centers globally. The company serves clients in more than 140 countries.
