What if the merchant (store) doesn’t have a chip-enabled machine?

If a merchant isn’t using a chip-enabled terminal yet, you will ‘swipe’ your card to make your purchase, just as you do today. Chip cards will continue to have the magnetic stripe on the back, allowing them to work in regular terminals.

Caution: Scammers are spoofing LSCU’s number and asking for codes. Don’t share card info or codes—hang up and call 214.327.9367.
