Credit card giants like VISA and Mastercard are introducing new “smart cards” across America this year, and while this new technology may help reduce credit card fraud, it will also leave merchants liable to fines of up to $50,000 if they process a fraudulent transaction on a non-smart terminal.

We’ve designed this infographic to answer those questions and many others in a simple, easy-to-understand visual format.
