  1. The International EMV Software Market Author Antti Öfversten Supervisor Professor Heikki Hämmäinen Instructor M.Sc. Sakari Ranta

  2. The International EMV Software Market Introduction • EMV is an internationally agreed standard for payment cards • The name EMV is an acronym of ”Europay MasterCard Visa” • The main purpose of the EMV standard is to introduce a more secure payment method by using a chip card instead of a magnetic stripe card • The risk with regard to fraudulent transactions is much higher when magnetic stripe cards are being used • This risk will be shifted to them who do not support the EMV functionality • Points of sale • Card Issuers

  3. The International EMV Software Market Research Problem • How can target market characteristics be measured? • What are the key factors that make the target market suitable for EMV software products ? • When should market entry take place? When is the shift from magnetic stripe cards to EMV cards going to happen? • What strategy should be applied at market entry? • Which markets should be targeted?

  4. The International EMV Software Market EMV Payment System Model • Issuer (ex.g. banks, oil companies) • Issue chip cards to the payment system • Acquirers (ex. g. Luottokunta) • Release payment accepting terminals to merchants • Process the terminal transactions • Pay the merchants for the transactions • Merchant • Obtain terminals that accept EMV Payments • Cardholder

  5. The International EMV Software Market EMV Security Mechanisms • The actual EMV functionality for authorising transactions resides with the issuing bank • Authorisation requests • Asymmetric algorithms • Authenticate the card as valid to the terminal • Symmetric algorithms • Generate and verify transaction cryptograms based on key shared between the card and the issuer bank

  6. The International EMV Software Market Payment Applications • EFTPOS • PC POS / standalone terminals • Mobile EFTPOS • Uses the GSM or GPRS networks • Contactless Payment (RFID, bluetooth, infra red) • Contactless cards • Mobile phones • Payment tokens

  7. The International EMV Software Market Foreign Market Entry Modes There are several methods of foreign market entry including • Exporting • Licensing • Joint ventures • Direct Investment • The chosen method depends on a variety of factors…

  8. The International EMV Software Market Selecting Foreign Markets • Target market indicators: • Not yet fully mature • Credit card liability shift • Number of independent payment terminals vs. PC POS software

  11. The International EMV Software Market Software Entry Strategies Most interesting target markets can be divided into two groups: • Group: • Percentage of PC POS systems and standalone terminals capable of EMV payment 0..50 % • Total number of PC POS and standalone terminals: 0 .. 100000 • 2. Group: • Percentage of PC POS systems and standalone terminals capable of EMV payment 0..50 % • Total number of PC POS and standalone terminals > 100000

  12. Group 1

  13. Group 2

  14. Suggested Strategy

  15. The International EMV Software Market Software Entry Strategies • The design of a market entry strategy is actually iterative with many feedback loops • The strategy proposed in the thesis can be used as a starting point for iterative development of the international marketing plan • As some of the markets are entered, more detailed information of the EMV situation is inevitably collected • Further research for more detailed information should excercised so that target markets can be included or limited out of the marketing plan • Finding useful data for the internationalisation plan will be an ongoing challenge • No literature study can replace the information and data that can be obtained through a visit to a potential foreign market
