Credit and debit cards using chip technology are becoming the security standard in the U.S.
Chip technology (also known as EMV) offers another layer of security when used at a chip-reading terminal, because it generates a unique, one-time code that’s needed for each transaction to be approved. This provides better protection against counterfeit fraud. Over 130 countries around the world use chip technology – including Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom – so you'll also enjoy greater acceptance when traveling internationally.
