EMV stands for Europay, Mastercard, Visa, and is the industry shorthand for what are commonly called “chip cards.” An EMV chip card is a credit or debit card that contains a computer chip on the card to authorize the transactions. EMV transactions are more secure and safer for both the consumer and the merchant.
