For decades, the venerable magnetic stripe has served as the technological foundation for card payments in the United States. That’s about to change.

Smart-card payment technology — better known as EMV — is on the way, and the payments industry will not be the same.

Smart cards use a microchip to talk to the point-of-sale (POS) terminal, virtually eliminating counterfeit card fraud. But this new technology will come at a price, and understanding its impact on business is critical to future success.

On Tuesday Dec. 18, 2012 at 11:30 a.m. Eastern, SHAZAM and Mercator Advisory Group host a free webinar, Understanding EMV.

Discussed during this 60-minute webinar will be the topics of:
  • What EMV is and how it works 
  • How EMV benefits you — and how it doesn't 
  • When EMV is coming to the U.S. 
  • What the payment brands will require you to do, and when 
  • Details on liability shifts — and what they mean for you 
  • Your cost to implement EMV 
  • How potential conflicts with the Durbin Amendment could affect what you do 
  • What you can start doing right now to get ready 
Participants will also have a chance to submit questions online.
