Industry committee The current rule is that on any card I accept now, as long as I do everything by the book, I will be covered to a certain level. It depends on whether it's an online transaction or an in-store transaction. Once the chip payments are in place, if I don't have the technology to ac

Industry committee We're in the process of changing right now. What's happening is that obviously since we're “one of”, the payment processing companies aren't necessarily first with us, so we have to wait for the technology to be finalized before we're able to do that. Once we do that, the respo
