October 1st was the deadline for merchants to upgrade their POS systems to be EMV chip card-compatible. From now on, if a consumer uses an EMV card at an outdated terminal, the merchant will be liable for any fraudulent charges associated with the purchase.

Earlier this month COO of Abtek, Tami Cohorst was featured on WXYZ-TV Channel 7 in Detroit to discuss the current EMV chip card landscape in the United States. Learn why some consumers may not have received their chip cards yet and discover what this transition to EMV will do for our payment security as a country.
