Yeah after…10 years? USA to get EMV cards

Posted on February 12, 2014 by robertwilkie

Took long enough.  But it seems US customers will be getting EMV cards (Europay, Mastercard, Visa).  Basically its a smartcard with chip/pin authentication.  Its been in europe for some time now, but USA has been stuck on mag stripe cards forever.
