Don’t Go Anywhere Without Your EMV Capable Cards

EMV—which stands for Europay, Mastercard and Visa—has become the global standard for chip enabled cards and comes fully equipped with consumer protection capabilities. This technology is used to authenticate transactions using encrypted details, which safeguard your information. All Hughes credit and debit cards have this security feature.

Traditional cards that don’t have an EMV chip only have a magnetic stripe that can be easily replicated and compromised. Look for the small golden square on your card: this is what protects you from becoming a victim of fraudsters.

Here’s what you can do:

• Look in your wallet, if you are still using a Hughes debit card that does not have the chip on the front, come in for an instant issued EMV enabled card.
• Once you have your new card, destroy your old magnetic-stripe only card to avoid having it fall into the wrong hands.
