Chip Enabled Cards (EMV)

More Security in Payments. 
Our personal and business debit chip cards feature an embedded chip that improves security every time you make purchases at chip-enabled terminals. You get enhanced fraud protection with chip technology. This tiny chip protects you from fraud by creating a unique code for each chip transaction. This prevents card data from being fraudulently used. As more stores and restaurants around the world are using chip card readers, you can use your card in the U.S. and abroad with even more confidence.

Mag-Stripe Still Accepted 
If a merchant hasn't switched to the new chip card reader, don't worry! Your card will still have a magnetic stripe for use at traditional retailers. For online and phone purchases, you can continue to place orders the same way you do today!

 

Plus, it's easy to pay at chip-enabled terminals!
