Coming in 2016!!
What will EMV (Chip) Credit and Debit Cards
Mean for You?
Nebraska Energy Federal Credit Union (NEFCU) will begin
reissuing all credit and debit cards with chip-based
technology in 1st Quarter 2016. This new feature will make
your NEFCU credit and debit card more secure, accepted
more places throughout the world, and it will come at no
cost to you.
Europay, MasterCard, Visa, (EMV) cards, contain a small
metal chip that holds encrypted card information. Every
time you use a chip card at the chip-enhanced terminal,
a unique transaction code is created that protects your
information. Because of this technology, an EMV chip
card is nearly impossible to counterfeit and dramatically
increases the security of each transaction. Your transaction
may take just a little longer to complete with a chip card,
but the added security is well worth it.
Our Member Service Representatives will be happy to
answer any questions you may have regarding the EMV
cards. Please feel free to contact us 402-563-5900 or Toll
Free at 800-453-3913. An educational video is available for
your review on our website at www.ne-fcu.org. Just click on
the EMV link on our home page and you will be directed to
the video.
