EMV compliance has now been in place for just over 6 months. Adoption rate is still relatively low, even among major chains and box stores. It appears that some businesses are just not taking it that seriously. Major Point of Sale and hardware providers are still slow to release compliant equipment, and most processors were late to the game, if they have even arrived yet. The card associations are taking this adoption very seriously, and they are starting to play hardball.
Here are a few scenarios that have actually happened to customers of mine.
- The Late Adopter
- The Micros User
- The Mobile Merchant
