Chip Card Technology Information

By now you’ve received your new Nusenda Credit Union microchip credit and debit cards, commonly referred to as chip cards, or EMV. Here are a few details to help you understand why your credit union reissued your card(s).

Why is chip technology safer than traditional cards?

Chip techonlogy provides the highest level of security because the cards are extremely difficult to counterfeir or copy. Most retailers are switching to chip card-enabled terminals as EMV become the standard innovation. 

What transactions can I make with my chip card?

You can still conduct phone and online transactions, use your card to get cash, check your balance, and more, all using your chip card. 

How will an ATM react to my chip card?

Some ATM machines have been reconfigured to hold your card in place while your transaction is processed. Don't try to remove your card until you have completed your transaction—and don't forget to retrieve your card from the ATM machines before driving away. 

What if a merchant doesn't have a chip card-reading machine?

In addition to chip technology, your card also has a magnetic strip. This means that you can use it anywhere, even if merchants do not yet have chip-enabled terminals. Just be aware that swiping your card (instead of inserting it) could leave your card exposed to merchant compromises, resulting in us re-issuing your card. 

How can I make sure my chip card is accepted when I travel?

Chip cards are acceptied in most place wordlwide. Please contact us to 505-889-7755 (800-347-2838 outside of the Albuquerque area) before you travle, with the country/countries you are traveling to and the dates you will be traveling to help card service prevent interruption.
