Chip & PIN Products
The UK's Chip & PIN programme is an initiative launched by the government and the banking industry to crack down on card fraud. Its purpose is to manage the UK's migration from magnetic stripe to EMV chip and PIN over the next three years. It addresses all aspects from town trials to full roll out; from card holder education to system certification; from traditional point of sale to cash dispenser.
To combat fraud, a microprocessor "chip" is embedded in the front of the plastic card. The chip gives the card computer intelligence and has led to the name "smart card". The chip is significantly more complex than the magnetic stripe, and criminals will find it uneconomic to copy. Furthermore, the intelligence of the chip allows the card itself to check the cardholder's PIN (Personal Identification Number).
