Because of the technology included in the chip readers, we are unable to offer them at no cost.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Each of our chip readers includes EMV technology that helps make everyone of your transactions much more secure than transactions processed using mag-stripe. The chip on your card and the EMV technology in the reader are tiny computers that allow the costumers information to be validated in real time which helps protect you (and your customers) from fraudulent and counterfeit transactions.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If you’re curious, you can always read more about our EMV solutions at <A href="https://squareup.com/emv." target="_blank">https://squareup.com/emv.</A><BR /> &nbsp;</P> Thu, 23 Jun 2016 19:52:28 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Archived-Discussions-Read-Only/Chip-Reader/m-p/8115#M69171 Kelly 2016-06-23T19:52:28Z
