Duesday is proud to announce that 22nd August 2018 saw them onboarding their first merchants in North America through their innovative recurring payment platform “Duesday”. Therefore meeting the needs of businesses using recurring payments to collect fees from customers on an international scale. Not only providing value through recurring payment options at largely reduced rates yet meanwhile meeting the needs of businesses in the US wanting access into Europe through the so-called EMV method, more commonly known as Chip & Pin.
The fundamentals of EMV (Chip & Pin) in the US have improved security, reduced fraud and enabled cardholders to use their cards abroad with much more convenience. The main reasons why issuers, payment networks, and merchants across the United States are migrating to EMV technology is due to the significant reduction in card-present card fraud resulting from counterfeit, lost or stolen cards. Another pull towards this migration is the interoperation ability with the global payments infrastructure. Consumers using EMV (Chip & Pin) cards can use their card on any EMV- compatible payment terminal in the world.
This shift to EMV has been an increasing need for US businesses due to the catalyst of fraud that exploded between 2004 and 2010 as the fraud using US-issued bank credit cards rose by 70% and in 2012 credit card losses in the US totalled $5.33 billion, an increase of 14.5% from 2011. To counter this in 2014–2015 the US began the migration and as of today, there have been more than 600 million EMV cards issued to US consumers. Visa is already seeing the results as their findings show a 43% reduction in counterfeit fraud at chip and pin merchants. This can only be a good thing. As EMV technology coverage is growing around the world especially with almost 100% coverage in portions of Europe and Canada, magnetic stripe technology has become more and more archaic meaning the 100% adoption of EMV is imminent for US businesses and essential to catch the global payments wave.
Over the last few years, US cardholders have encountered huge inconveniences when abroad when carrying non-chip cards. Cashiers, along with petrol stations and ticket kiosks, refused to accept non-chip cards. However thanks to the push in migration to EMV cards which are aligned with global standards, that is no longer the case as US issued chip cards work in any EMV country in the world.
An additional benefit for migrating to EMV for the US market is the preparation of digital payments; from mobile wallets to wearables and the future innovations yet to arrive. All of these new innovative payment solutions rely on EMV. It’s only with the EMV infrastructure in place that it is possible to conduct secure contactless transactions.
