Visa Speeds Up Checkout Times
Quick Chip for EMV streamlines checkout to make secure chip card transactions faster and even more convenient

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 19, 2016-- At the Electronic Transaction Association’s TRANSACT 16 event, Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) announced the launch of Quick Chip for EMV, a technology enhancement that optimizes EMV®1 chip card processing and speeds up checkout times.

The Quick Chip specification is available free-of-charge to payment processors, acquiring banks, and other payment networks to offer to merchants. The upgrade streamlines the processing of chip card transactions to enable customers to dip and remove their EMV chip card from the terminal, typically in two seconds or less, without waiting for the transaction to be finalized. The enhancement requires only a simple software update to the merchant’s card terminal or point of sale system.

“Visa is advancing a streamlined approach to chip transactions to make them faster and more efficient, while still providing a safe and secure experience,” said Mark Nelsen, senior vice president of Risk Products and Business Intelligence, Visa Inc. “Quick Chip for EMV helps make the checkout experience comparable to the ease and speed of magnetic stripe transactions.”

The updated process provides a number of key benefits, including:

Faster Checkouts: Quick Chip-enhanced terminals will prompt the cardholder to dip the chip card briefly in the reader and then remove it, reducing the card’s interaction with the terminal to about two seconds.
Streamlined Processing: Quick Chip-enhanced terminals can also allow the payment card to be inserted and removed while the shopping cart is still being rung up, further streamlining the acceptance process for the consumer.
Simple Implementation: Quick Chip requires a payment application software update that can be easily downloaded to the payment terminal. Once installed, the technology will work with all cardholder verification methods, including signature and PIN, and does not require the merchant to make any changes to its routing or transaction handling. Quick Chip does not require additional Visa or EMVCo testing if a merchant’s checkout system has already been certified as EMV chip compliant. No changes to chip cards are needed.
FINALLY... shit I hate these new chip cards. I used to be able to check myself out in like 6 seconds, now it takes like 30 seconds its ridiculous. Shit's been so stupid for months I don't know why they switched it in the first place. Plus half the time you insert the card and wait there a few seconds then it tells you to swipe it anyway

You're fucking tripping man... I already know this shit's going to be infinitely better than that KFC nashville chicken. It'll probably be some of the greatest fried chicken I've ever had. Nothing beats fresh local quality ingredients

George Town is a pretty hipster place with some solid proper spots, and these people are definitely putting love into their food to get featured a month deep into business

Native Nashvillian here. This stuff is so good, I got the neck sweats. Finally, hot chicken worthy of the name! Bring your preacher's towel, 'cos you're gonna need it to mop up the pools of sweat off your face.

The mac'n'cheese is devine. Get it garnished with the chunky bacon.(Did I even need to point that out?) This is the creamiest mac you've ever put in your mouth.

Just to calibrate expectations, "hot" is more "medium" and "insane" is more traditional Nashville hot chicken taste. The fieriness here reflects Northwest palettes.

What could be better? Some sweet tea would seal the deal. Other than that, this is as authentic as a hot chicken place gets outside of Nashville. Outstanding.

I was going to stack these two couches on top of each other but they probably weigh like 300+ lbs the whole frame is some solid wood



Just remembered this and wish the couches were lighter... that would've been pretty lulz...

"So we were looking through all the CCTV footage trying to find out exactly what happened through the past 48 hours regarding that property damage and suspicious activity... Mike... Why the hell did you stack those two couches on top of each other then take pictures of them?!?"
