Enhancing safety, high information security, minimizing the risk of fraud, card information theft … are the outstanding advantages that chip technology cards bring.
Recently, banks have been offering ATM cards based on domestic VCCS card standards, complying with EMV international standards as well as increasing communication to their customers about this conversion.
Have you ever wondered why switching to a chip technology ATM card when your magnetic technology ATM card is still working?
So what is the EMV chip technology card and what are the benefits to this card?
Why use ATM card chip technology?
Magnetic cards have a relatively low level of information security because the information stored on the magnetic strip on the back of the card is not encrypted.
When customers insert a card into an ATM or swipe a card on a POS machine, the information stored in the magnetic strip will be read by the readers in the machine, so with just a common magnetic swipe device, an intruder can easily. easy to steal card information, then it is also easy to create fake cards with copied information, at the same time attaching sneaky devices to record the PIN operation of customers, and that is enough for crooks. Can steal money from customers’ accounts. This is a fairly common crime, often called skimming.
But with EMV standard chip cards, electronic chip-attached cards are designed to prevent skimming fraud thanks to the ability to store and encrypt information with high security.
Chip cards help minimize skimming.
Accordingly, the EMV chip will generate new data every time the customer makes a transaction. When you use the EMV chip technology card at a card reader, the card will generate a unique encryption string just for that transaction.
This encryption cannot be used for another transaction because it is created from a combination of information contained in the chip and information contained in the card reader.
That means you will not have to worry about the card information being copied because it is encrypted, combined with your own PIN, the risk of fraud is minimized.
A successful EMV card transaction will go through a complex two-way authentication step from the card receiving device to the payment bank, via Napas card payment gateway and the issuing bank. Only when approved by all relevant organizations, will the transaction be successful.

At the request of the state bank, in 2019, banks must convert at least 30% of the cards from domestic chip cards, and the deadline for a complete conversion to chip card technology is the end of 2021. .
One of the major challenges for this transition is the large cost, not only of the high cost of infrastructure upgrades to meet the new standard, but also due to the higher price of chip cards. 5-7 times compared with a magnetic card, making both customers and banks hesitant to spend money to transfer.
However, TPBank said that it will seriously comply with the requirements of the State Bank on the card conversion schedule. “It is expected that by the end of 2019, about 35% – 40% of TPBank’s domestic cards will use standard chip cards, and we strive to complete the conversion to chip cards for all customers in 2020,” he said.
