EMV

EMV is an abbreviation for Europay, MasterCard, and Visa, and it's a secure method of processing a credit or debit card. The new EMV chip contains a complex encryption authentication which substantially reduces the chance of a transaction being made using a stolen or copied credit card.

This new EMV encryption feature will:

​

• Reduce fraud transactions

• Reduce charge backs

• Protect not only your business but your customer’s information as well.

EMV capable terminals are not limited to just processing EMV Chip credit cards. Piedmont Payments also offers the latest in NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, so you will be able to accept ApplePay, Samsung Pay, Google Wallet, Android Pay, and Soft Touch transactions.
