Over the next several years,
TD Visa Cards, TD Canada Trust Access Cards, Green Machine ABMs and
TD point-of-sale card processing devices will convert to chip technology, offering
a more secure environment for credit card and debit card transactions.
As part of an industry initiative, TD Canada Trust will be putting new chip
technology in place in the upcoming years. You can be assured that we will keep
you informed about the progress of this transition and that you will continue
to enjoy a comfortable service experience.
What is a chip card?
Chip cards have
an embedded microchip that stores information in a
secure, encrypted format, making it more difficult for unauthorized
users to copy or access the information on the card. When used with
Automated Banking Machines (ABMs) and chip point-of-sale devices, new chip
TD Visa Cards and TD Canada Trust Access Cards will offer a higher level of
security for credit card and debit card transactions.
Magnetic stripe credit and debit cards will continue to be secure and
welcomed by retailers. Customers will be able to continue to make
transactions in Canada and around the world with the same confidence, just
as they do now.
For now, it’s business as usual
for credit and debit card transactions
There is nothing you need to do: our new chip Cards will be issued to our
customers and point-of-sale terminals will be provided to our merchants, over
several years. Rest assured that we will look after introducing the new chip
technology to you as it becomes widely available.
