EBT is the delivery of government benefit funds via an electronic debit card. As more of our society utilizes government sponsored programs, EBT is a payment option that is growing at a tremendous rate. Government programs such as Social Security, state issued food stamps, Women/Infants/Children (WIC) and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), issue benefits on an electronic card known as an EBT card.

The transactions are processed like a debit card. The Cardholder enters a Personal Identification Number (PIN) into a pin-pad and once the purchase is approved, there is no liability towards the merchant for accepting Food Stamps or Public Assistance transactions.

The WEX (Wright Express) and Voyager cards are among the most popular fleet cards on the market, and used by more than 4 million commercial and government fleet drivers who enjoy the convenience and flexibility they offer.

EMV- which stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa — is a global standard for cards equipped with computer chips and the technology used to authenticate chip-card transactions. In the wake of numerous large-scale data breaches and increasing rates of counterfeit card fraud, U.S. card issuers are migrating to this new technology to protect consumers and reduce the costs of fraud.

Why are EMV cards more secure than traditional cards?

It’s that small, metallic square you’ll see on new cards. That’s a computer chip, and it’s what sets apart the new generation of cards.

The magnetic stripes on traditional credit and debit cards store contain unchanging data. Whoever accesses that data gains the sensitive card and cardholder information necessary to make purchases. That makes traditional cards prime targets for counterfeiters, who convert stolen card data to cash.

As the U.S. payment industry transitions to EMV technology, there’s a lot to adjust to, starting what to call the new cards. They might be called any of the following terms:

Unlike magnetic-stripe cards, every time an EMV card is used for payment, the card chip creates a unique transaction code that cannot be used again. This code will regenerate every time that the chip read transaction is processed.

EMV technology will not prevent data breaches from occurring, but it will make it much harder for criminals to successfully profit from what they steal.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that ALL businesses that process credit cards as payments maintain a secure environment to help cut back on credit card fraud.

The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) was launched to manage the evolution of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) security standards with focus on improving payment account security throughout the transaction process. The PCI DSS is administered and managed by the PCI SSC (www.pcisecuritystandards.org), an independent body that was created by the major payment card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB.).

The PCI Data Security Standard specifies 12 requirements for compliance, organized into six related groups called “control objectives”. Each version of PCI DSS has divided these 12 requirements into a number of sub-requirements, however the 12 high level requirements have not changed since the inception of the compliance standard. (See below for details).

At Transaction One, we will ensure that your business is in accordance with all the compliance requirements and regulations.
