You may have noticed that new debit cards and credit cards are being issued with a visible microchip on the front, above the first four digits of the card number. The purpose of the microchip is to make it harder for criminals to use your debit/credit card fraudulently and is designed to meet the EMV standard, which will be discussed in just a moment.
