EMV is a chip-based payment specification, coming after the long era of magnetic cards for debit and credit payment transactions.
EMV standards were first defined in 1994 by Europay, MasterCard and Visa. EMVCo was founded by these companies to facilitate worldwide interoperability and acceptance of EMV payment transactions. This includes, but is not limited to, card and terminal evaluation, security evaluation and management of interoperability issues. Today, EMVCo has six members: American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay and Visa.
EMV Migration has been one of the major agenda items for banks, processors and financial institutions for years. EMV standards impact every part of the payment ecosystem. Main business drivers for EMV migration include fraud reduction, better control, lower costs and value added services.
EMV contact cards were followed by contactless EMV standards of MasterCard, Visa and other payment schemes after 2006. Contactless standards have gained mass adoption due to its user friendly nature and speed.
