How do you calculate EMV?
C. EMV is calculated by taking event #1 with a loss of $5,000 and multiplying it by the 30% probability to get negative $1,500. For event #2, you multiply the savings of $1,000 times the 20% probability to get positive $200. Add the two events and you get -$1,300.
What data is stored in EMV?
The data stored in the magnetic stripes includes your 16-digit card account number, expiration date and 3-digit security code (CVC) like the one found on the back of your card. Chip cards contain the same data and more.
What is EMV and NFC?

Contactless payment transactions made using mobile NFC devices use the same infrastructure as contact and contactless EMV chip card transactions.

How do you EMV chip?
EMV chips transmit data just as magnetic strips on cards transmit data. However, payment terminals don’t read EMV chips the same way they read magnetic strips. A card with an EMV chip typically must be inserted into the slot of a payment terminal, which then reads the chip’s data and verifies the card as authentic.
Why EMV is important?
EMV chip cards are proven effective in reducing in-store counterfeit fraud. The fact is chip cards work—EMV protects businesses by reducing losses related to card-present fraud and by helping to create a safer payments ecosystem.
