What is EMV in debit card?
How do I know if my debit card has EMV chip
To check whether your debit card has an EMV chip or not, look for a golden chip located on the centre-left position of the front of the debit card. If there is no such chip, then it is a magstripe card.
Is EMV a credit or debit card
An EMV card is a credit or debit card with an embedded microchip and associated technology designed to enable secure payment at compatible point of sale (POS) terminals. Compatible terminals enable card dipping for chip and PIN or chip and signature authentication.
How does EMV payment work
EMV chip cards are credit and debit cards embedded with a small computer chip. It is this chip, and not the magnetic stripe (magstripe) on the back of the card, that transmits payment data to the card reader during a transaction.
