What is a Chip Card?
A chip card, commonly known as a smart card, is a plastic card with a microchip in it. When coupled with a chip card reader, this combination has the processing power to perform complex operations well beyond the capabilities of magnetic strip cards.
When used as part of a credit card, the chip memory stores payment information similar to the magnetic strip, but may also enable additional benefits such as added security and enhanced loyalty schemes. For the foreseeable future, all chip cards will continue to have an embossed account number and a magnetic strip. This allows the card to be used at locations that are not yet equipped to accept chip cards.
Chip card processing and memory capabilities vary and are similar to a scientific calculator. The capacity of the chip dictates the number of ways the chip card can be used. |
