Your iPhone or iPad has a built-in chip reader which lets you read credit, debit, and other type cards with the swipe of your hand. However, if you want to make a transaction using a different card, you'll need to use the device's integrated camera to scan the card's code. This article will teach you how to use your device's camera function in order to read codes from paper cards. You will also learn about the latest update released by EMVCo which allows old-fashioned magnetic strip cards added into an app called Square Cash. Most credit cards have a magnetic strip, which is used to store card information. While most electronic payments need this information, some people prefer using paper or plastic cards for transactions. The EMV chip is a more secure alternative to the magnetic strips. The new chip-based cards are becoming more popular by the day because of their more secure encryption methods. Unlike the magnetic strip which can be easily copied, the chip card generates unique security codes every time it is used. It also protects you from counterfeiting since it requires personal information that can only be accessed with an EMV-compatible device. To read chips, your iPhone or iPad needs to have a built-in chip reader. The EMV chip is also used in some phones. On one hand, Android phones with NFC capabilities come with built in EMV chips. On the other hand, the newest Apple devices like the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus come with built in EMV chips. These enable users to make payments via Apple Pay using their mobile devices. Now that you know how chip cards work, read on to learn how you can use your iPhone or iPad's camera function to read items from a paper card. The first step is to push your device's home button and open up Camera app from the list of apps appearing on your phone's screen. Familiarize yourself with the camera. The picture above shows a screen similar to what you can see on your device's camera screen. You may not instantly notice that the top left corner of the figure has an icon which reads "EMV". This is how you can clearly identify which apps are sensitive to EMV technology. To check if your device supports EMV, tap on this blue card."Alright," says."What are you holding?""A credit card," you reply confidently."Snap that sucker!""Alright!" With that, you take a quick selfie and move on to step 2. The next step is to hold the credit card so that it faces your camera. Notice the bottom left corner of your screen. If you see a message which says "Image not supported", then it means your device is not EMV-compatible. If, on the other hand, you notice a message that reads "Slide credit through reader" then it means that your device is EMV-compatible. To scan a card using its magnetic strip, follow this easy procedure: first, slide the magnetic strip of the card through the square box on the screen; then slap your device's screen with one hand; and finally read all instructions appearing on your phone's screen by following their instructions. eccc085e13
