GBTI launches new Visa chip cards

The Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) has announced that it is now offering its customers a more advanced and secure transaction tool in the form of the EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) chip card, a global standard for credit cards that uses computer chips to both authenticate and secure chip-card transactions.

GBTI has moved forward with this initiative geared towards its Visa Gold and Visa Classic credit cards as well as the Visa Travel Classic pre-paid card.

The introduction of the micro-chip technology carries with it myriad benefits for its users, while reducing the likelihood of fraud, rendering credit card transactions more secure and enhancing the overall customer experience.
