Visa Chip Card

Corporate America Family Credit Union (CAFCU) Visa® Credit and Debit Cards now come with built-in chip technology. This gives you greater fraud protection when you use your card at a chip-activated terminal. Your new card is not only more secure – it’s also easy to use. Here’s what you can look forward to as a cardholder:

  • Enhanced fraud protection. When you use your card at a chip-activated terminal, the embedded chip generates a one-time use code. This code is virtually impossible to counterfeit and helps reduce in-store fraud.
  • Global acceptance. More merchants are accepting chip transactions every day. Whether you check out using chip technology or swipe your card, you can pay with confidence wherever Visa credit cards are accepted.
  • Easy to use. Simply swipe your card like you do today. However, if a chip-activated terminal is available, insert your card instead and follow the prompts.

No matter how you pay, you’re protected against unauthorized use with Visa’s Zero Liability Policy.1

Keep in mind, you can continue to use your chip card online and over the phone … the same way you do today.
