Visa plots to enforce chip cards in US
About time is all I can say about this. The country that sticks to miles and mag stripes truly needs to get with the programme and I hope Visa are serious about forcing this through. MasterCard should be all over this too.

Now card giant Visa has set out its programme to drive the adoption of dual-interface chip technology to "help prepare the US payment infrastructure for the arrival of NFC-based mobile payments" as well as improve security and international interoperability.
What was the holdup? Obviously there’s an expense associated with upgrading the cards and machine countrywide, but wouldn’t that be offset handily by a decrease in fraud?

Holdup? You could call it resistance to change.
