Visa said last week that two years after US retailers started deploying terminals that could read chip-based credit and debit cards, reports of counterfeit card fraud have dropped by 70%. EMV adoption among US retailers soared from 392,000 shops in September 2015 to over 2.7 million stores in December 2017, accounting for 59% of all US storefronts. The FBI warned users in 2015 not to consider themselves safe just because they’re using a chipped card. The number of EMV chip-and-PIN cards grew in the US from 159 million in September.
