Research Summary
EMV cards are payment cards—such as credit or debit cards—embedded with a microchip that securely stores and processes data for authentication during transactions. Named after Europay, Mastercard, and Visa, the EMV standard enhances security compared to traditional magnetic stripe cards by generating unique transaction codes, making it much harder for fraudsters to clone or counterfeit the card. EMV cards can be used in chip-and-PIN, chip-and-signature, or contactless (“tap”) payment systems, providing greater protection for cardholders and merchants while enabling global interoperability across payment networks.
