Chip card technology can protect your business from financial liability

Did you know your business may now be liable for fraudulent transactions at the point of sale? M&T Bank Merchant Services can help shift liability away from your business through EMV® chip technology.

Take advantage of EMV chip technology

Merchants who cannot accept EMV chip cards may be held liable for fraudulent transactions at the point of sale. With a terminal certified to accept chip cards, you can help your business avoid potentially being held liable for card-present fraud.

Adopt a global technology standard

EMV chip technology is the world-wide standard for card-based payments. Chip technology helps protect both merchants and consumers with more advanced security than traditional magnetic stripe cards. Accepting EMV payments indicates to your customers that you are committed to a safer, more advanced way to pay. It’s also popular with tourists and international travelers.

Use EMV to accept contactless payments.

Most EMV capable terminals also have the ability to accept contactless payment options such as Apple Pay®, Google Pay® and Samsung Pay®.

Visa will process transactions similar to how they process your physical card transactions today except rather than receiving your actual card number, merchants will receive the unique virtual card number associated with your M&T credit, debit or Commercial card. M&T Commerical Cards are not eligible for use with Fitbit Pay or Garmin Pay.
