EMV Liability Shit Counterfeit Fraud
Insights from Rules and Regulations
A cardholder claims he or she did not participate in the transaction you processed. A counterfeit EMV-chip card was used in a card-present environment. And one of two things have occurred: The transaction did not take place in a chip-reading terminal; OR [online only] the transaction was chip-initiated. But your card processor didn’t transmit all of the chip data to Visa in the authorization request.
How to Win Reason Code
