How will you know if you have a chip card?

A chip card has a microchip embedded on the front as shown on the card on the left.

Chip technology on your card may vary by card issuer. Please refer to your issuing financial institution for more details.

You may also swipe your card to pay if the merchant’s terminal is not yet chip enabled.
