EMV is a smart card standard that was created in 1996 and developed by Europay, MasterCard and Visa. EMV specifies that, by 2005, all debit/credit payment cards in Europe will be smart cards rather than magnetic stripe cards. Visa and MasterCard Europe have put in place a number of incentives to ensure that banks across Europe manage to meet the deadline. The EMV standard is recognized internationally, guaranteeing worldwide interoperability and security.About Gemplus
