No more signatures says Visa
3 November 2009 |
| |
| Visa today announced it will move to chip and PIN technology for all Australian Visa cards over the next four years, with signatures no longer accepted at the checkout from 2013, as part of a wide-ranging agenda to cut card fraud.Visa’s General Manager for Australia and New Zealand, Chris Clark, said Visa was working with financial institutions and retailers to upgrade more than 14 million Visa cards in Australia, half a million merchant point of sale terminals and thousands of ATMs to chip and PIN technology.“From January 2010, all new Visa credit cards issued in Australia will feature secure embedded smart chips to give Australians a higher level of confidence in the security of their transactions,” Mr Clark said.“This will be followed by the upgrade of Visa debit and reloadable prepaid cards from January 2011,” he added.“Chip technology will also offer banks and merchants the ability to provide their customers with benefits such as faster transactions, innovations such as contactless payments and the opportunity to store information such as reward programs on their cards.”Mr Clark said the move to chip and PIN was part of a comprehensive seven-point security agenda that also includes initiatives to enhance the security of online transactions. Cardholders will be enabled to use a Verified by Visa password when shopping over the internet.Online retailers will be required to capture the three-digit cardholder verification number when processing transactions, while small and medium sized businesses will be required to enhance their levels of data security. |
