We are excited to announce a new security technology we can now offer our members — the EMV chip card for Visa Platinum and Visa Business cards. These cards provide a decrease in fraud due to the higher security measures.
They may be new in the United States, however other countries have already begun seeing a noticeable difference in fraud occurrence. Credit card fraud is on the rise in the United States. The NASDAQ reported that 31.8 million consumers had their cards breached in 2014. We strive to give our members peace of mind and we know it is what you have come to expect from Visa.
The EMV chip card for Visa is accepted globally and works the same as your current Visa Platinum or Visa Business card. The only exception is the embedded microchip located in the card. The card can be used at chip-enabled ATMs and other terminals for added security. Don't worry if you cannot find a chip-enabled ATM — our cards will work at any Visa ATM or terminal.
We appreciate your business and your trust. As a way to say thank you we added the new Rewards! Program to your EMV card. Our Visa Platinum and Visa Business cardholders are eligible. Those cardholders without the EMV card are still eligible for the Rewards! Program; the card only adds another layer of security to your account.
With the Rewards! Program, when you use your Visa card at ATMs or terminals, you will earn everyday points. This includes when you swipe your EMV card at a chip-enabled ATM or terminal as well as those not chip-enabled.
Your points can earn you merchandise, gift cards, travel perks, and once in a lifetime experiences. See our brochure for full details.
With everything the Visa Platinum card has to offer, why not apply for an EMV card today? Or, call us to upgrade your card to include the added security of EMV.
*APR = Annual Percentage Rate. The introductory rate will be applied to purchases and balance transfers during the first six (6) billing cycles. Rates are subject to terms, conditions and credit qualifications. Rates are subject to change.
**Rewards! Program:
Cardholders will earn Rewards! (“points”) for purchases of all eligible goods and services using the participating Chief Financial Federal Credit Union’s (“Chief Financial”) credit card (“card”). Accrual of points may begin on the date the card and the card agreement is received by the cardholder. Point earnings are based on the new net retail purchase transaction volume charged to the card during each periodic billing cycle (“billing cycle”) by the cardholder(s) (“net purchase(s)”). Points may not be combined with any other loyalty/frequency reward program. Points will not be earned or accumulated for cash advances, convenience checks, traveler’s check purchases, finance charges, balance transfers, late fees, annual fees, over-limit fees, transaction fees, returned check fees, ATM transactions and fees or PIN transactions. Chief Financial reserves the right to award bonus points to selected cardholders. The Rewards! program is a service provided through Augeo Consumer Engagement Services, LLC, and Chief Financial Credit Union. In the event of fraud, abuse of program privileges or violation of the program rules (including any attempt to sell, exchange, or transfer points or the instrument exchangeable for points), Chief Financial Credit Union reserves the right to cancel cardholder’s membership in the Rewards! program. The Rewards! program is void where prohibited by federal, state, or local law. Chief Financial reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the Rewards! program. Eligibility in the program is restricted to individuals who have a billing address within the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.
