Credit cards with EMV chips coming to the US
By April 2013, in the US, financial services companies Visa and MasterCard plan to distribute credit and debit cards with EMV chips for cash withdrawals and cashless payments in stores ? at the moment, most cards in the US only have magnetic strips, which can easily be copied. The EMV standard developed by Europay, MasterCard and Visa is more effective at protecting against duplication, since criminals can currently only use their skimming hardware on cashpoints to pick up magnetic strips and PINs.
