The Countdown to EMV: A New eBook from PYMNTS.com

This month marks the one-year benchmark before the EMV liability shift takes effect, changing nearly every part of the payments ecosystem from issuers and merchants to consumers and payments networks. Compiled into an easily readable eBook, industry leaders provide their perspective, best practices, learnings from other markets, and insights on preparing for the impending Chip and PIN and digital future.

Each chapter reflects the unique perspective of the contributing company. Excerpts include:

Gemalto (News - Alert) on EMV and the adoption of contactless payments: "As EMV becomes ubiquitous in the U.S., the timing has never been better for contactless payments. Issuers can now leverage two important benefits of the EMV migration: The momentum of consumers changing their payment experience at the point-of sale, and the new infrastructure that merchants are currently installing." Gemalto discusses the countdown to EMV and best practices following their extensive experience in contactless payments and deployment of over one billion EMV cards worldwide.

Creditcall on EMV and the risk at the POS: "The safest payments system possible combines EMV with point-to-point encryption (P2PE) at the POS level. What ISVs, VARs ad integrators need to understand, is that getting a POS or mPOS solution EMV-ready will not happen overnight, as a migration will take approximately 22 months to complete. When crunched for time and resources, it's imperative for payments systems organizations to know pre-certified EMV solutions exist, and will significantly reduce the amount of time and effort to get up and running. ."

Datacard on EMV and increased security: "EMV chip card ubiquity in the US will dramatically decrease the options fraudsters will have to use stolen account data, and it will enable cardholders to embrace new ways of making payments by protecting and informing them."
