Increased security = decreased fraud
When used at a chip-activated terminal, your card’s chip generates a one-time use code that is needed for each transaction to be approved. This code is virtually impossible to counterfeit, which helps reduce fraud and adds greater security to the payment system.
Simple to use
Insert the chip card into the terminal and leave it there until the transaction is complete.
If the terminal is not chip-activated, you can still swipe your card using the magnetic stripe on the back of the card. Whether you insert or swipe, there’s never a need to worry. Visa’s Zero Liability Policy1 will protect you from any unauthorized transactions.
