The payments card revolution in the last half a century – and it was a genuine revolution that changed businesses and consumers alike – was launched with a relatively simple technology. The standards created for using the magnetic stripe for data storage propelled a simple plastic card into the information age. Merchants can design better and more flexible reward programs that can be activated instantaneously when the right customer shows up and chooses to use a certain payments application. Issuers can manage cardholders’ spending profiles and personal lines of credit interactively in real time, eliminating the need for online authorization for certain transactions, and signaling a risk alert for certain other transactions. A quantum leap that brings issuers, merchants and cardholders a whole new realm of possibilities. In recent years, a second technological revolution in the payments industry has been steadily gathering momentum – the chipbased card, that is poised to change everything again. This time, it is not just consumers and merchants that will be affected. The migration to chip cards promises to offer new and exciting opportunities that allow many organizations to pursue radically different competitive strategies, create new services and product suites, and fundamentally alter their ability to build relations with their customers. The move toward chip-based cards – chip migration – is akin to putting a small computer processor with memory, logic and a configuration of software applications 4 INSIGHTS WINTER 2006 A more exciting dimension is what a chip card can do in business terms for the cardholder, merchant and issuer. Reward and loyalty programs can be fully integrated with payments applications. The cardholder is informed each time a payment is made, outlining which loyalty programs are available for that payment to accrue to, and what rewards are being offered in terms of instant discount and related benefits. into a plastic card that looks no different from the credit cards that we all have today in our wallets. This chip- and PIN-enabled (Personal Identification Number) card is not simply a credit card with functionalities; it literally represents a quantum leap that brings issuers, merchants and cardholders a whole new realm of possibilities in their business and personal lives. THE POTENTIAL A chip card offers many more payments applications than the standard payments card today. It allows the cardholder to select different payment methods based on his/her preference at a specific time and place. But these additional payments applications are only a small portion of what a chip card can do. It replaces a signature with a PIN, which enhances security for cardholder authentication. It can also be used for Internet authentication, for business purposes as well as dealing with government and public agencies. The amount of personal data that can be stored in a chip card is many orders of magnitude larger; a wide array of important personal data like passport details, government identification, driver’s license, personal health data and medical histories could potentially all be stored in a single chip card. It could potentially create a whole new platform to craft more effective and highly differentiated competitive strategies. cause of the establishment of a common standard – EMV. This is the standard set of specifications agreed to by the Europay, MasterCard and Visa consortium for smart cards using integrated circuit (chip) and PIN (personal identification number). EMV compliance ensures inter-operability of all chip cards and terminals equipped with chip card readers. All these new applications and functionalities combine to make it possible to think of how the chip card can be made fully compatible with a cardholder’s lifestyle needs on a highly customized basis. It also enhances merchants’ capability to create more powerful and personalized loyalty and reward programs. From the issuers’ point of view, the chip card is not merely a technology for better security and fraud prevention, but it could potentially create a whole new platform for them to craft more effective and highly differentiated competitive strategies. The standard for EMV compliance was established in May 1998, and is defined as: (i) a set of functions for communication between a smart card and a terminal; (ii) a framework for card and cardholder authentication; and (iii) a framework for card and terminal risk management. With universal compliance, a chip card issued in one country would be compatible at any EMV-compliant payment terminal in any country. EMV compliance is therefore a prerequisite for the development of a global smart card network. THE EMV STANDARD Chip migration has been made easier be- EMV compliance is critically important to chip migration because of increasing re- turns. At its simplest, increasing returns refers to the phenomenon when as more people adopt a product, this leads to more people also adopting it, thus generating a self-perpetuating process. Increasing returns, however, cannot begin if there is no single common standard for introducing the technology or product in question. In this regard, the EMV standard is of great importance to chip migration. Strict adherence to EMV compliance is nothing less than a necessary condition for the future success of chip migration: the cardholder wants the simple assurance that the chip card in his/her wallet will not run into technological glitches because of different technical standards wherever he/she is; and the merchant simply does not want to have to deal with different technologies that complicate their business operations. It’s a whole new world. Adapted from a recent article in Insights, a publication of MasterCard International Inc.

MASTERCARD CANADA RECENTLY announced that 12 of its card issuers will be working with MasterCard and five leading acquirers to introduce chip-enabled MasterCard payment cards in Canada by 2010. This explicit and proactive commitment to chip by MasterCard issuers and industry acquirers is unprecedented in the Canadian market, and brings significant momentum to the transition to chip technology. With these 17 commitments to date, MasterCard has set the stage for chip migration and the most important change to the Canadian payments industry since its inception. Over the past year, various players in the Canadian payments industry have confirmed their commitment to a timeline for chip implementation. Already, several issuers and acquirers are experimenting with chip and have gained useful knowledge and perspective on how chip technology will affect their business. Many of these organizations are committed to a large-scale deployment of chip-enabled cards and chip-ready payment terminals by the end of the decade. MasterCard Canada’s philosophy for bringing chip to market in Canada is to work with issuers and acquirers to facilitate their planning for chip; in addition, each organization has to manage the chip migration in the context of their individual business case and identify the business potentials within it. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the introduction of chip represents a massive business shift for Canadian issuers. New cards have to be introduced, systems need to be adjusted to handle the different way chip carries information and, of course, a major cardholder communication effort will be needed. But Many organizations are committed to a large-scale deployment of chip-enabled cards and chip-ready payment terminals by the end of the decade. 6 INSIGHTS WINTER 2006 MasterCard issuers committed to introduce chip by 2010: • ATB Financial • BMO Bank of Montreal • Canadian Tire Bank • Capital One Canada • Citibank Canada • Credit Union Electronic Transaction Services (CUETS) • GE Money Canada • HSBC Bank Canada • MBNA Canada • National Bank of Canada • People’s Trust Company • President’s Choice Bank Canadian acquirers committed to introduce chip by 2010: • First Data Loan Company • Global Payments Inc. • Moneris Solutions Corporation • Chase Paymentech Solutions • Unified Network Payment Solutions chip also means the creation of an extraordinary new business opportunity. To date, much of the focus on chip globally – and in Canada – has been as a fraud and security solution. Chip cards are rightly seen as capable of providing greater security and better protection against fraud. However, chip migration is a technological transition that offers much more than just a means for fraud prevention. Chip migration offers a whole new platform for developing a new generation of competitive strategies. The implementation of chip is more than a technology upgrade. Chip migration offers a whole new platform for developing a new generation of competitive strategies. Blindsided by the narrow perspective of fraud prevention, an organization risks missing a strategic opportunity to build the technological foundation for competing successfully in the 21st century. The chip card is a new platform to develop more differentiated products and offer more value-added services in dealing with cardholders. It fundamentally alters the competitive landscape – changing cardholders’ behaviour from one of selecting cards based on basic features (rates, fees, rewards) to one of seeking values: service options and product capabilities that can be customized to one’s lifestyle needs. The 4 Cs – Tapping the Potential of Chip The implementation of chip means capacity, capability, customization, and co-operation. Capacity: refers to the chip’s ability to carry larger applications. Issuers and acquirers need to examine their current business model and identify where they have been limited by the capacity of the magnetic stripe. Capability: greater capacity means the chip has more capability. It can run applications that interact in a more sophisticated fashion with the point-of-sale. Has thinking been limited to date because of the current card capacity? Evaluate customer programs that currently run off the card, that is, through manual or separate systems. With chip, those programs may now be able to sit on the card. And if that is the case, can they be tied in with other existing card programs? Customization: card-based programs can be highly customized to the issuer and the merchant; they can also be built to handle individual customers or customer segments in a specific manner. The potential to tap into existing CRM (customer relationship management) efforts also exists. MasterCard’s chip solution suite, MasterCard OneSmart™, gives merchants, acquirers, and issuers everything they need to migrate to and manage chip-based programs. MasterCard’s OneSmart bundles together all components necessary — card applications, card readers, system software, and business processes — to leverage the business opportunity of chip. OneSmart packages include: customer acquisition; customer retention; card activation and usage; loyalty; innovation such as OneSmart PayPass™ which combines both contact and contactless interfaces on one chip; new delivery channels, and more. Co-operation: the migration to chip is not happening in a MasterCard vacuum. This is a change impacting multiple payment platforms simultaneously. In order to make the transition cleanly and cost effectively, there has to be a co-operative effort. The shared EMV chip platform is part of that co-operation, but not the only part. MasterCard has extensive global experience in the planning and implementation of chip programs. MasterCard’s Chip Centre of Excellence, based in Brussels, Belgium, is the fulcrum of a global network of expertise and experience. MasterCard can help organizations identify the business opportunities in chip and plot a business strategy to integrate chip, when and how it makes most sense for the business objectives. Globally, MasterCard leads in the implementation of chip cards worldwide, with more than 248 million chip cards in active use, significantly more than any other payments organization. This experience is now being applied in the Canadian market to ensure the payments industry is in the right position to capture the benefits of chip technology. As of September 2005, there were more than 1,500 completed and active MasterCard chip projects globally, representing an 80% growth from 2004. continued on page 10 INSIGHTS WINTER 2006 7 MC-50088_Chip_layout.qxd 8 INSIGHTS WINTER 2006 2/2/06 3:10 PM Page 8 INSIGHTS WINTER 2006 9 MC-50088_Chip_layout.qxd 2/2/06 3:10 PM Page 10 CHIP IN CANADA CHIP: THE GLOBAL LANDSCAPE I N T E R N A T I O N A L LY, C A R D L E A D S There were 250 million EMV-compliant chip cards and two million chip-cardcapable ATMs and point-of-sale terminals deployed globally at the end of 2004. More than 275 million banking cards issued in TO THE T H E WAV E E N D OF O F Of these chip cards, more than 95% are EMV-compliant chip cards. In Asia/Pacific, EMV-compliant chip migration for both credit and debit cards are at different stages of development. Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Malaysia are the first markets to lead the chip migration and have recently been followed by Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong. THE T H E Serving the premium customer — It is an uphill task to provide ever more differentiated services to premium customers. For many of these consumers, pricing is just one of the multitude of factors they consider. Increasingly, they need more tailored service packages that dovetail with their lifestyle needs. Chip cards have the capability to carry such packages. Cardholders could be given wide-ranging choices to accrue benefits to different loyalty programs, consolidating them, or switching them from one program to another. All these make a “cardholder-centric” loyalty pro- Chip cards put the cardholder in the centre of the decision-making process, acting like the cardholder’s own bank manager in his/her wallet by having built-in authorization logic. The chip card could inform the cardholder about the costs and benefits of different payment options in every purchase decision that the consumer is contemplating, and provides clear indication of the spending power minute-to-minute. TAIWAN Credit card fraud has been a serious problem for Taiwan. This was one of the key reasons Taiwan set a deadline of 2006 for full EMV compliance chip migration. The first The move to chip is not only the right decision, it’s the right time for card issuers and other payments industry organizations to consider how to leverage chip technology to enhance their business. MasterCard is providing cutting-edge, customized hands-on support and extensive expertise to assist in a smooth transition, with the philosophy of ‘do it once, do it right’. Cardholders could be given wide-ranging choices to accrue benefits to different loyalty programs, consolidating them, or switching them from one program to another. Loyalty programs — Chip cards offer the potential for designing a whole new generation of loyalty programs that are both convenient and instantaneous to cardholders. For example, reward points will not be redeemed through complicated and time-consuming procedures as they usually are today, but will be benefits that 10 INSIGHTS WINTER 2006 gram possible, which in turn greatly enhances the relationship between the issuing bank and the customer. continued on page 12 More than 275 million banking cards issued in 2005 carried a chip, an amount that has almost doubled since 2002. Taiwan* 18 2005 carried a chip, an amount that has almost doubled since 2002. The number of chip cards in the banking industry is increasing every year and, given the two billion chip cards currently in circulation, it is clear that the potential for growth is huge. The majority of chip cards are currently being issued in Europe. In 2005, over 70% of cards issued in Europe were chip-enabled. Asia/Pacific is hot on Europe’s heels, where, as of 2005, over 25% of cards issued were chip cards.

Significant progress has been made so far. Terminal compliance and credit card compliance are near 100%. Growth in EMV-compliant terminals has come from both “new” and “replacement” demand. The Association of Banks of Malaysia and member banks have worked very closely in achieving speedy progress in chip migration. THE EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE FRANCE Cartes Bancaires (founded in 1984) started France’s chip usage as early as 1990 with the issuance of its first B0' (Bull Zero Prime) card. Today, there are 42 million chip cards issued by 180 banks and financial institutions to access 40,000 ATMs and carry out transactions with 600,000 merchants all over France. These are US$ 200 billion and 3.4 billion transactions (75% payments, 25% ATMs) per business year. The French experience has shown that after several years of using chip cards, domestic counterfeit has dropped from about US$25 million in 1992 to almost zero in 1997. The fraud rate has also dropped from 0.087% to 0.019%.

Card fraud rate, for example, fell US$10.8 million in 2002 to US$7.6 million in 2003. Losses due to stolen cards, however, rose 36.4% from 2002 to 2003. But the general trend of card-related fraud has been on the decline as illustrated in the first chart on page 12. 2007 2008 Transportation Others The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), the largest commercial bank in China, partnered with MasterCard International in December 2005 to launch the first EMV-compliant, chip-based card in China. The introduction of the Peony MasterCard card marks an important milestone in the Chinese credit card industry, with ICBC as the first local bank to pioneer the shift to chip-based cards. The completion of the ICBC program and move to the EMV chip platform enables cardholders traveling overseas to use their EMV chip card utilizing the POS systems and ATM machines. This also allows the service to be accepted locally and provides opportunities for the local payments industry as they enhance the payments environment in China, especially in light of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. *All figures are rounded; base year is 2003 INSIGHTS WINTER 2006 13 MC-50088_Chip_layout.qxd 2/2/06 3:10 PM Page 14 GLOSSARY continued... UNITED KINGDOM The UK is the most mature card market in the world with 35 million cardholders and 87.6 million cards. The credit card is ingrained into the payment landscape with 83% of adults carrying one or more payment cards. The primary motivation for the move to chip, as in other markets, was to reduce counterfeit fraud. In 1997, UK industry losses topped £20.3m (17% total fraud) while chip-enabled France enjoyed a 0% rate of counterfeit fraud. In the UK, counterfeit fraud grew at a rate of 72% between 1995 and 1996 and another 49% from 1996 to 1997 – the case was clear cut. In addition, card issuers realized that the mature card market would benefit from the fresh platform for new services and product offerings that smart cards brought. In the UK, counterfeit fraud grew at a rate of 72% between 1995 and 1996 and another 49% from 1996 to 1997. The First Chip Trial in the UK The first chip trial in the UK was held in Northampton and Dunfermline. The key objective of the trial was to create a national framework with global inter-operability that had a common specification, was EMV compliant, and secure. The trial also had to demonstrate the operability and acceptability of chip technology in POS and ATM environments. The trial began in January 1997 with 13 card issuers and 8 acquirers taking part issuing 53,000 credit cards and 64,000 debit cards. The cards could be used at 475 retailers and 19 ATMs. Throughout the trial, cardholders used their cards for 104,000 point-of-sale transactions and 117,000 ATM transactions. The trial wrapped up in June 1998 and exceeded all success criteria established. Minimal incidents were reported and those that were, were related to service code failures. Both retailer and cardholder market research done after the trial demonstrated positive experiences with the technology within these groups. CHIP TERMS DECODED Chip refers to the embedded microchip in payment cards (embedded cards are also known as smart cards). Chip-enabled cards work in a similar fashion to traditional payment cards but have the capacity to store a much larger amount of encrypted information — chip cards can carry valueadded applications like loyalty, digital ID, e-ticketing, e-coupons or personal data storage. Chip cards also require the use of a PIN, thereby providing added security. Upgrading to chip is like trading your walkman for an MP3 player. Because of the added capacity, chip can offer new payment applications, combine multiple payment functions and give businesses the ability to create customized loyalty and rewards programs that can be activated when the customer chooses to use a certain payments application. Chip migration refers to the move toward chip-based cards. Chip is already in use in many parts of the world including Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Twelve of MasterCard Canada’s card issuers will be working with MasterCard and five leading acquirers to introduce chip-enabled MasterCard payment cards in Canada by 2010. With 17 commitments to date on the migration to chip, MasterCard is leading the market in Canada. DIP a chip describes the action consumers take to insert a chip card into a chip-enabled POS terminal. EMV is an acronym for “Europay MasterCard Visa” and is the global technology standard for chip-based payment cards to replace existing magnetic stripe cards. The EMV standards, finalized in 1996 in Europe, were created with the goal of ensuring global inter-operability of chip-based payment cards and their payment terminals/readers. In 2002, MasterCard International merged with Europay International. Magnetic stripe refers to the current card technology which carries data on an electromagnetic band. OneSmart™ is MasterCard’s suite of chip solutions for issuing banks, merchants and consumers. OneSmart uses the power of chip technology to deliver highly secure, more customized and better, differentiated card programs. PIN stands for Personal Identification Number, and is the four-to-six digit security code cardholders are asked to enter into a keypad at the point-of-sale terminal when they make a purchase. The PIN is one of many advantages with the chip platform upgrade. POS is an acronym for point-of-sale. This can mean a checkout counter in a shop or a mobile location where a financial transaction occurs, i.e., paying the pizza delivery person. POS terminal stands for the device merchants use to process financial transactions. Smart cards refer to cards embedded with a single or multi-application chip. Also sometimes referred to as “chip cards.” CHIP FAST FACTS 248.5 million: total number of MasterCard-, Maestro-, and Mondex®branded smart cards issued worldwide, with a considerable number of them carrying value-added applications like loyalty, digital ID, e-ticketing, e-coupons or personal data storage. 156.5 million: number of MasterCard branded cards that are EMV compliant, representing an almost 100 per cent year-over-year increase. 3.7 million: current number of EMV POS terminals around the world that accept MasterCard branded chip cards, a 150 per cent growth year-over-year.
