Why does my Armed Forces Bank credit card or debit card now include a chip?
Chip technology is becoming the new security standard in the U.S., and we want you to be ready as more merchants begin to accept chip cards. Because the chip provides better protection against counterfeit fraud, you will enjoy greater security when making purchases at a chip-enabled terminal. Chip technology is already being used in over 130 countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico, which means you'll enjoy greater acceptance when traveling internationally.
