Why are Chip and PIN cards more secure?

0

The enhanced security of a Chip and PIN card comes from the chip itself as it is encrypted and employs a range of security features and measures that work in concert with each other to create a multi-layered defense against card fraud. When Chip and PIN cards are used at chip-enabled terminals, the transaction system identifies the cardholder through the Chip and the PIN. The enhanced security features of Chip and PIN cards make them virtually impossible to replicate and therefore less likely to be a target for criminals.
