1:00 - 2:00 PM - Visa Presents: Emerging Consumer Payments: Growing Your Business with Every Transaction. Visa will launch an Europay Mastercard Visa (EMV) Chip Technology education awareness campaign in January 2015 to educate small and medium-sized merchants on the transition from magnetic swipe debit and credit cards to EMV Chip Enabled payments between now and October 1, 2015.
While the primary purpose of the campaign is to educate merchants on EMV Chip Technology and how they can transition successfully to this new payments system, discussion of EMV Chip Technology will fall under a broader discussion of emerging consumer payments (both digital and electronic) and how these new payments systems impact business’ bottom line, including driving sales and revenue, increasing customer security and protecting customer data. Visa will also distribute an electronic toolkit to initiative attendees.
