EMV Chip Cards

Get big protection in a tiny chip.

FAIRWINDS Visa® Credit and Debit Cards feature an embedded chip that improves security when you make purchases at a chip-enabled terminal.

  • Receive enhanced fraud protection with chip technology. This tiny chip protects you from fraud by creating a unique code for each chip transaction.

  • Enjoy global acceptance. Whether you check out using chip technology or swipe your card, more places around the world now accept Visa credit and debit cards.
To pay, just insert the chip end of your card with the chip facing up and leave your card in the terminal until prompted. Then simply sign for your purchase if necessary.
