AUSTIN, Texas, May 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, discusses the next phase in chip card ubiquity in the U.S. and payment trends post 2015 at CARTES in Washington, DC. A few months shy of the U.S. liability shift deadline, Karrie MacDonald, vice president of business development for payments at Gemalto, will deliver a presentation on the topic "An EMV Case Study: How will banking evolve after Oct 2015?" The session will cover an analysis of the successful chip migration in Canada from the bank's viewpoint while incorporating the contactless and mobile strategy and the benefits to cardholders.
As one of the latest countries to migrate to chip technology, the U.S. has the opportunity to leverage the knowledge gained from other deployments and the global pattern following the arrival of EMV. Karrie will share Gemalto's perspective through previous migrations and the operational and strategic acumen acquired. Leveraging Canada as a case study, Karrie will share insights on what really needs to be considered when integrating EMV and the hurdles, opportunities and successes that face U.S. issuers over the next few years.
