New research from Mercator Advisory Group examines the progress made by credit card issuers, merchants, and the card networks since the 2015 EMV liability shift.
Significant progress in the issuance of chip credit cards and the education of consumers has been offset by continued challenges in certifying and activating merchants' dormant point-of-sale terminals to accept EMV transactions. The resulting blowback—lawsuits, product changes, and policy shifts—has come to define the U.S. EMV migration in 2016.
Mercator Advisory Group's newest research report, EMV in 2016: Breaking Through the Bottleneck, provides an updated outlook on the U.S. EMV migration, including estimates for the issuance of chip credit cards and the distribution and activation of chip-accepting point-of-sale (POS) terminals.
