So I'm curious what others' experience is with EMV terminal speeds and what factors affect that.
I've yet to encounter a 'speedy' EMV terminal but your post gives me hope.
That said, some are certainly slower than others... Publix is probably the worst I've experienced.
I'm curious how the speed of our transactions compares to our friends overseas who have had EMV tech for years; I'm hoping theirs is significantly faster and that we'll eventually catch up.
Costco has the upgraded Visa quick EMV technology on their card readers. Check it out next time you go in - it's as fast as swiping used to be.
I too have had nearly instant emv experiences at Costco. It threw me off the first couple of times.
