Check out the Chip Advantages

Unfortunately, in today’s society, fraud is a common thing. Identity thieves have continued to develop even more high-tech ways to steal your information. However, the chip has been brought in to prevent fraud when it comes to your credit and debit card. In fact, Europe has had an 80 percent success rate when it comes to the chip protecting their population against identity theft.

Businesses are slowly moving away from swiping and are only allowing the chip technology to be used to help tackle fraud in the United States. Hopefully, with this chip technology, the rates of fraud among Americans will only continue to decrease.

Our new, enhanced First Volunteer Bank CheckCard will provide better convenience and security through our new chip technology feature, as well as uninterrupted account access. Contact us today to learn more and to apply today!
