Accelerating EMV's U.S. Migration: Strategic Considerations for Adopting Chip-Based Technology
This
report provides an overview of EMV, including the different EMV compliant
payment options, and touches on the industry’s biggest hurdle to adoption, the
debate about who will foot the bill for development of the infrastructure to
support the migration to EMV technology. Next, the report explores four
strategic considerations for U.S. FIs considering the adoption of EMV smart
card technology:
1) The enhanced data security features of EMV and their ability to reduce losses due to fraudulent transactions
2) The potential of EMV compliant cards to improve customer retention of affluent customers
3) The opportunity for FIs to competitively position their institutions for the entrance of EMV payment cards and set the foundation for contactless payment transactions, mobile payments and e-wallets
4) The ability to address implications of changing industry oversight and federal regulations like the Durbin Amendment and proposed fraud liability shifts from FIs to merchants
Finally,
in the absence of a domestic infrastructure to support EMV technology, the
report proposes an interim strategy for transition.
