EMV Migration Forum offers third EMV 101 session

April 28, 2014

To help card issuing banks and merchants ready their organizations for the October 2015 fraud liability shift, the EMV Migration Forum is offering its next EMV 101 online training session on May 7.

"Education is a critical component for teams throughout every step of their EMV chip payment implementation," said Randy Vanderhoof, director of the EMV Migration Forum. "This webinar is a good starting point because it provides the necessary foundation to get on the path to a successful implementation. After hosting an inaugural EMV 101 in January, we received a lot of demand for additional webinars."

The next EMV 101 will feature Guy Berg, senior managing consultant of MasterCard Advisors. The event will be held on May 7, 2014, at 1 p.m. EDT. Interested participants may register online.

The webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of EMV chip technology, with topics including:

• EMV payment processes and how they differ from magnetic stripe transactions;
• EMV chip security and risk management features;
• options for card authentication, cardholder verification and transaction authorization;
• EMV specifications and references; and
• EMV implementation status — globally and in the U.S.

An extensive online library of EMV resources includes additional tutorials and educational information specifically for issuers, merchants, acquirers/processors and consumers.
