Why Businesses Need to Get Ahead With Credit Card Chip Technology

Posted by wpadmin | Posted in Business and Corporations, Financial Advisement, Government, Personal Finance, Taxes | Posted on 09-02-2016

Forget the fact that the transition’s happening right now as we speak. Forget the fact that even consumers are a bit wary despite the fact that there are these reasons why people shouldn’t worry. The new credit card chip technology, EMV, is coming. It most definitely will stick. It will stay. And while it’s going to be a long transition (imagine how many stores in the entire nation will have to be fitted with these new credit card reading machines), and card companies will be slowly rolling out these new bad boys, the fact of the matter is this — businesses are straggling to catch up.

That May Not Necessarily Be a Bad Thing, However….

It just so happens, though, that the new cards (for those who don’t have them) will be functional bothcredit card chip technology-1 ways, just to ensure that there are no problems. That means your magnetic stripe credit card might already have a microchip installed already. However…. Businesses need to get ahead right now given the fact that Visa and MasterCard have officially renounced any accountability for credit card fraud.

What does that mean? That means you, the business, will be solely responsible for compensating a customer who’s suffered from ID theft. Not something you want to deal with.

The Fact Is Credit Card Chip Technology Is the Wave of the Future

Only a quarter of merchants in the country have the readers built-in and operational to run the new computer chip credit cards. The technology’s safer. It’s been proven in other countries; sadly, the U.S. is the last to convert.

As a support and due diligence to your customers, we make it a point to invest in the technology and get yourselves ready for the transition before you lose out on more of your resources due to credit card fraud and such. It’s still a big game-changer as far as white-collar crime is concerned. So don’t hesitate. This is the name of the game for business these days.

How the New Credit Card Chip Technology Will Support ID Theft

Businesses have to be keen on this new development in the financial stratosphere when you’re thinking about it, for plenty of reasons. Aside from the fact that the transition to credit card chip technology will incorporate a nationwide spread of new card-reading machines (more investment for businesses, unfortunately), there’s one other subject companies everywhere would love to learn more about: identity theft.

Will This New Credit Card Chip Technology Protect More?

Good question. This doesn’t just revolve around the consumer, but the business. Ever lend your business credit card to the intern? Not a smart move…. You can imagine just how important it is to ensure that credit card fraud never steps foot into your business, and the concept of someone stealing somebody’s information — either customer, client, or business — is earth-shattering at best.

However, the computer chip raises a beautiful question. Hackers don’t care. A chip can be hacked into. credit card chip technology-1But everyone’s saying that this new credit card chip technology’s going to change the landscape as far as credit card fraud and ID theft is concerned (it’s already happening a ton overseas where EMV’s been changing the way people spend money).

Here’s why credit card chip technology will make things better — the main problem with the magnetic strip credit card is the fact that the strip holds all the data and it never changes. That means if anyone ever gets a hold of your one little strip (they don’t even need to steal the card) and copies it (that’s really all they need to do), you can go about your life still having your card (no one stole it!) while some ID thief runs around with a copycat card, spending all your money.

That magnetic strip is a prime target for ID theft.

What the computer chip-enabled card does, however, is allow the user to swipe it, have the machine read it; and the chip itself develops a unique ‘transaction code’ that can never be used again. It, therefore, means, you can buy 15 separate candy bars, the card will read it 15 separate times, and each time will be virtually unique from every other time.

Not one thief would be able to steal your information. Each transaction is encoded through the chip and never gets stored anywhere. It’s processed and then dies a lovely death in cyberspace, basically. Therefore, your information can’t ever be pulled from the card.

Of Course, These ID Thieves Are Resourceful!

The hope is the new credit card chip technology will change the way credit card fraud happens. As in never. But the problem with ID theft is there’s always a way. It’s like that bad penny always turning up. The good news is that this new development will certainly make it easier for Ultimate Identity Protection and other partners to do what they do best. Protect your identity.

Credit Card Chip Technology: It’s Going to Take Awhile

As seen here, the expectation is people may be wary about the whole credit card switch thing from magnetized strip to tiny computer chip (especially with credit card fraud always being a problem) despite these three reasons why we shouldn’t be scared. We’re protective over our plastic! However, fear not: this isn’t a change that’s going to happen overnight, even though the two major credit card companies, Visa and MasterCard, recently announced back in October that all consumers will be receiving new cards with credit card chip technology enhancements.

The Big Issue Is Functionality, Really: Not That Credit Card Chip Technology’s Unreliable!credit card chip technology-1

In fact, many foreign countries utilize the EMV standard over the magnetic strip with astounding protective results. ID theft and credit card fraud become extinct dinosaurs in this ever-evolving landscape of finance and technology, but would you like to know specifically why this transition from magnetic strip to credit card chip technology is going to take a long time? Click here.

Additionally, it’s not like we and credit card companies will be the only ones facing the change. Retailers will face it, too. Think about all those grocery lines needing new installments of those specialized credit card readers. You’ve imagined the clerk hopelessly throwing away that manual card swiper all those generations ago. We’re at it again, people. Those automatic card swiping machines will also go extinct.

But the change will have to be gradual once you see the gravity of how much businesses all over the nation will have to transition and accommodate the new credit card chip technology. Want to know how many merchants out there are ready for the change (and when everyone will be completely operational)? Find out right here.

Needless to Say, It’s a Tricky Situation

But the good news is you don’t have to stress right now. In fact, you might not even notice the transition as its happening. We don’t want the consumer base to be stressed! No one does. We’re not in charge of it, of course, but the fact remains — if financial establishments are starting to make it difficult for our customers wanting to simply file their taxes, or plan their budgets, we’re not happy.

So it’s our duty to inform you ahead of time. It’s our pleasure. Sign up today and let’s get to work on your finances right now before more dinosaurs go extinct.

4 Ways to Know Donald Trump’s Take on Financial Forecasting Failure

Posted by wpadmin | Posted in Business and Corporations, Financial Advisement, Government, Personal Finance, Taxes | Posted on 22-01-2016

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Who doesn’t love the hairpiece? Seriously. Donald Trump’s the poster child, perhaps, for a special kind of hair, but also for just mega-success, so you’d have to expect that such a man knows a bit about financial forecasting failure. How does one see all the wrong signs and then walk into a financial wall of fire? Very simply, actually, as detailed here:

It’s All About Accuracy When it Comes to Financial Forecasting

Hence, if you don’t have it, you’re going to lose. You’re fired as Donald Trump would say. Given he’s probably one of the most prolific entrepreneurs of our age, these tips would go quite well with his business ethic, so as someone who may be considering everything from a cloud-based bookkeeping service to a rent-to-own consultant or even a 2-hour tax return, you might like to consider the content here as a wealth of resources —financial forecasting failure Donald Trump

And that’s just the beginning. You can read more about it at the Income Tax Planning Network and Cloud Based Bookkeeping, getting access to services that’ll keep you on the right track with your business finances. But more importantly….

“You Have to Think Anyway, so Why Not Think Big?”

Donald Trump said that. Wise words. He also said all the women on the show “The Apprentice” flirted with him, either consciously or subconsciously. We won’t judge. After all, he’s a successful businessman.

Life just happens, good or bad, for many families out there in the United States. There’s no denying it. Single mothers, even single fathers: low-income families have a burden on their shoulders where basic bookkeeping becomes a stress of mammoth proportions due to the fact that there’s never enough income generated to pay necessary bills just to make it day by day.

So what has to be in place? Simply put, government aid. It’s almost a necessity for low-income families. But whether you think it’s a crutch or not, and whether many simply seem to take advantage of the benefits offered by the government, one thing is clear — even the families that do work hard seem to only make it by the skin of their teeth, having to pull from their next paychecks to pay back someone who lent money, or robbing “Peter” to pay numerous “Pauls,” because the fact is this — government aid can only do so much in comparison to personal finances (and, yet, there’s so much going into those funds that it may shock you).

Here Are Five Facts That Just Might Blow You Away With Respect to Government Aid and Low-Income Familieslow-income families

What Do These Facts Mean to You? That They Prove Benefits Don’t Benefit?

On the contrary…. They certainly make their mark. If it wasn’t for these programs, you’d have single parents on minimum wage or low-income families stuck in homeless shelters without any way to make the rent payment. That’s just a matter of fact….

But when you’ve got a certain fast-food chain making anywhere around $4.8BB in annual profits, it begs the question about employment — why not pay your workers what they earn with all the hours they put in, or want to put in, so they can get off of government aid and not have to pick and choose on their expenses?

Your average low-income worker will have just over $6K in annual income and about $11K in benefits for food, rent and child care. How’s that for a perspective on low-income families?

ITPN recognizes there’s a problem with the current system we have in place. So let’s fix it. Now.
