Also, per this press release, only 60% of cards in the US are EMV enabled. That's lower than I thought, honestly. A chip only policy is definitely not a good idea right now.
I bet the press release is highly inaccurate. Do they have a source? I call garbage on that number considering EMV cards have been released for at least three years, if not many more... And cards expire.
