Deadline Nears for Smart Card Chip Readers

Starting October 1, retailers that have not installed the necessary equipment to accept chip cards will be liable for any fraud that occurs on purchases in their store. Reggis Liquor purchased its chip reader when the store opened almost a year ago, putting them ahead of the curve of many businesses. “We find a lot of people who don’t even know what that chip is for,” said Ujjwal Gajurel of Reggis Liquor.
