• Download the EMV ecosystem interactive PowerPoint presentation.

The U.S. migration to secure chip-based EMV payments requires new activities and collaboration of many participants throughout the payments industry. Who are the players and what parts do they play? The Smart Card Alliance Payments Council answers these questions in a new interactive PowerPoint tool. The interactive PowerPoint presentation identifies every stakeholder involved in the EMV ecosystem, their roles, and their links to other participants.

The tool is an easy-to-use PowerPoint slideshow. Viewers play the show and select one of the buttons on the first page. When they get to the full ecosystem graphic, all ecosystem participants required to issue and accept EMV cards and devices are shown. Viewers simply click on any participant and the presentation goes to the page that describes that participant – their role, examples of their activities, and their relationship to other participants.
