The shift is due to security concerns from issuers and as a way to put a dent into the annual $5 billion in card fraud. (EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard, and Visa, which developed the card.)The credit-card issuing giants (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) have given the October deadline to businesses to switch over to newer point of sale pinpads, or be liable for their losses via data breaches.
