Financial IC card can effectively reduce Weika fraud rate, while the rich diversity of banking value-added services: Compared with magnetic cards, smart cards, although the cost is high, but the card is easy to be copied, will be pulled Weika bank card fraud crime, and smart card independent computation, encryption and decryption chip CPU and storage capacity, the more the security of the magnetic strip card has improved considerably. After such as China Taiwan, Malaysia and other regions in the implementation of the migration of IC card, bank card fraud rate has dropped by more than 90%. Another value-added services and their potential application IC card is a magnetic stripe card can not be compared, IC can be achieved in the financial lending record, electronic wallets, micro-payment transactions and other functions quickly.

Stringent policy is another motivation to accelerate EMV migration. MasterCard and Visa EMV migration organization as the main facilitator in the global implementation of a series of incentive and punishment mechanism. Another international card organizations for the implementation of EMV migration plan a timetable, and in 2005 launched a "risk transfer" policy, under which, if Weika loss will be (issuers and acquirers in) not be a party to bear the loss EMV migration . To prevent risks, Eurasian Member States began to accelerate EMV migration.
