EMV payment training and consultancy services? The Twist to EMV Certification. Any non-generic, custom-payment application, such as a point-of-sale system, is held to the same testing standards as a generic payment application for EMV certification. The testing falls on the developer of the payment application, but can significantly hold up businesses that need an EMV certified terminal. Wonder why so many businesses still swipe chip cards? It’s because companies are currently waiting up to one year for level 3 EMV certification. Palms sweating? Mind racing? Don’t stress. Even though EMV compliance is still a dream for most businesses, we have solutions available to you right now.
EMV initially prevented fraudulent “card-present” transactions because the chip card, which encrypts the data and generates a unique transaction code for each purchase, was considered extremely difficult to duplicate. However, in 2018, crooks in Brazil were the first to figure out how to create valid EMV duplicates. See 3-D Secure.
EMV vs. Magnetic Stripe Transactions. Unlike magnetic stripe transactions, where typically only the card’s track 2 data containing the card number and expiry date is processed, every chip card transaction contain dozens of pieces of information to be exchanged between the card, the terminal and the acquiring bank or processors host.
