Start accepting EMV chip cards with Hike and PayPal

Q: "What is EMV?"

"EMV is the card security standard introduced by Europay, MasterCard, and Visa - hence the name EMV. EMV (chip) cards store customer information in a secure embedded chip, a more secure replacement for the obsolete magnetic stripe on the back of credit and debit cards."

Q: "Do I have to upgrade to EMV?"

"Magnetic stripe cards are easy to duplicate and are the reason for most card frauds. As a retailer you could be held liable for fraudulent transactions made using non-EMV card readers. Upgrading to EMV means you offer the most secure payment technology and won't be held liable for fraudulent transactions."

Sign up for Hike & PayPal, order your EMV card reader and connect the reader with the Hike app using Bluetooth. It's that simple!
