Why will my COPOCO CCU Debit and Credit card include chip technology?

As chip technology will soon become the security standard in the U.S., many merchants are beginning to accept chip cards and we want you to be ready. You’ll have greater security when making purchases at a chip-enabled terminal since the chip provides better protection against counterfeit fraud. Chip technology is already used in over 130 countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, so you’ll also enjoy greater acceptance when traveling internationally.
