eMazzanti Offers EMV Credit Card Technology Upgrade Services in Advance of Fraud Liability Deadline
Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) March 25, 2015 -- eMazzanti Technologies, a NYC area IT consultant and MSP, announced today that it is now offering EMV credit card technology upgrade services to retail merchants, doctors, attorneys, contractors and other businesses that accept credit cards. Retailers and others are looking to upgrade their point of sale (POS) systems to prepare for the October 15, 2015 deadline when the liability for credit card fraud shifts to the merchant if they do not have an EMV payment system in place.
“EMV or chip-and-PIN technology is now the credit card security standard in the United States,” stated Jennifer Mazzanti, President, eMazzanti Technologies. “With more than a decade of experience providing retail POS implementations and PCI compliance technology services, eMazzanti is well qualified to assist businesses with EMV card POS solutions.”
EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa, a global standard for the compatibility of chip cards and POS terminals designed to accept the cards and authenticate credit and debit card transactions. In the midst of frequent large-scale data breaches and the resulting increase of counterfeit card fraud, U.S. card issuers are implementing the EMV technology to protect their customers and to minimize their losses from fraud.
A chip card is a credit card with embedded microelectronics designed to reduce the risk of loss to cardholders and merchants from fraud. During the coming months, banks will be replacing credit and debit cards with chip cards to help increase security for customer’s accounts. Some card issuers have announced that personalized PINs will remain the same, easing the transition for their cardholders.
For merchants and professionals who accept credit cards, the switch to EMV means adding new in-store POS and office technology to accept the cards and adjusting to the new liability rules. For consumers, it means activating the new chip cards when they arrive and learning how to complete purchases using the new technology.
