Unfortunately, there’s a lot more to be done before we can say the U.S. payment system is up to speed with the rest of the world on chip card security. And given the focus on “chip” by itself,
it will be a long time before overall fraud losses are reduced and consumer fears about data compromise addressed. Decisions and investments made today
should take a longer term view of security and
the payments landscape.
