EMV Panel: Part Two(Follow up to Last Year’s Panel) Joseph D. Tinucci, AAP, CTP Kim Smith-Gross, CTP Matt Davies, AAP, CTP, CPP 2015 ROCKY MOUNTAIN SUMMIT
EMV Liability Switch • In October 2015 liability switches from card-issuing financial institution to merchant: • If merchant can’t process an EMV transaction • AND the transaction is on a counterfeit card • Bad news – the majority of fraudulent transactions are from counterfeit cards • Very likely to be the first of several liability switches (more types of fraud to be borne by merchant) 2015 ROCKY MOUNTAIN SUMMIT
Processing EMV Transactions • Customer (or clerk) inserts card into terminal • Card stays in machine until transaction completed • Machine asks for either signature or PIN from customer • Machine tells customer (or clerk) to remove card • Machine will still process mag stripe-only cards (current process) 2015 ROCKY MOUNTAIN SUMMIT
PIN versus Signature • Most card issuers will send out chipcards with signature authorization • Signature is useless as authorization method, just like current process • Reasoning: Customers will be disrupted / inconvenienced by change in process • PIN authorization adds communication with chip in card to confirm card’s owner 2015 ROCKY MOUNTAIN SUMMIT
Fraud Expectations • Other countries have found that card present / counterfeit fraud moves from EMV-capable to non-EMV-capable merchants • Then, fraud moves online • Total fraud does not go down • No clear path to EMV for online transactions • Designed for card-present activity, not for card-not-present transactions 2015 ROCKY MOUNTAIN SUMMIT
Where Else Can EMV Help? • Other in-person payment methods can benefit from more robust authentication • Mobile payments (smartphones, tablets) • Laptops with embedded card readers • Radio Frequency ID (RFID) (contactless) payments • Other stuff? 2015 ROCKY MOUNTAIN SUMMIT
