Can I use my chip card anywhere?

Yes, your chip card can be used virtually anywhere Visa Debit Cards or Visa Credit Cards are accepted in the U.S. and around the world. To use your chip card:

  1. Start the payment process by swiping your card, just as you do today. If the terminal is chip-enabled, you’ll be prompted to insert your card. Insert your card, face up and chip end into the chip-enabled terminal.
  2. Leave the card in the terminal during the entire transaction.
  3. Follow the instructions on the screen and either sign your name or enter your PIN as needed. Be sure to remove your card and take your receipt when the transaction is complete. Some terminals will make “beep-beep” sound when your card is ready to be removed.
