The U.S. EMV Journey: Migrating Last, Benefiting The Most?

Nearly 95 percent of payment terminals in Western Europe accept EMV cards. In the U.S., however, just 14 percent of the 11.8 million operating terminals are EMV compatible, putting the nation in last place for EMV adoption and at the greatest risk for fraud. On March 4 at 1 PM EST, Philip Andreae, VP Field Marketing North America at Oberthur Card Systems will MPD CEO Karen Webster in a live digital discussion on the road to EMV in the U.S. The two will travel back in time to briefly revisit EMV milestones, and how EMV has evolved into what it is today. Then, they will leap into the future to examine just how suited EMV is to support digital payments innovation around the world.
