EMVCo releases transaction volume data for the period July 2015 to June2016

14 December 2016 – Technical body EMVCo todaypublishes transaction data that reflects year-on-year growth in the number ofcontact and contactless card-present payments using EMV® chip technology.

“The progress of EMVchip technology worldwide promotes the implementation of an interoperablepayments framework, supporting an advancing range of payment methods,technologies and acceptance environments,” stated Soumya Chakrabarty, EMVCoExecutive Committee Chair. “In addition to increasing global usage, the mostrecent data shows rapid adoption of EMV technology in regions that haverecently implemented EMV chip infrastructures, such as the United States andChina.
