Commerce Bank Introduces Chip-Enabled Visa® Signature Credit Cards
KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Commerce Bank is offering Visa® Signature Credit Card holders
more convenience and safety when traveling abroad with the addition of
the chip-enabled Visa Signature Credit Card to its line of credit card
products. The card is embedded with a Europay, MasterCard®
and Visa (EMV®) microchip that provides customers with
greater acceptance at international merchants where chip card terminals
have become the standard. The microchip contains encrypted data which is
more difficult to counterfeit if the card is lost or stolen, thereby
providing enhanced credit card security for those customers traveling
abroad.
“We are excited to offer our customers a product that will make
international transactions more convenient and secure,” said Carl
Bradbury, Director of Consumer Card Products. “As the payments industry
continues to evolve, Commerce Bank understands the utmost importance of
protecting our customers against fraudulent activity. We view the
chip-enabled Visa Signature Credit Card as a way for customers to
experience greater card acceptance, enhanced security, and overall
increased peace of mind while travelling internationally.”
The chip-enabled credit card includes elements that offer each
transaction an additional layer of security for regular purchases in
stores as well as those made at unattended terminals such as automated
ticket dispensers commonly found in European train stations. The
embedded microchip stores and generates the information required to
authenticate, authorize and process transactions. The Commerce Bank
chip-enabled Visa Signature card is accepted anywhere Visa®
cards are accepted.
