Chip (EMV) Cards

At Coastal, we implement technology that we know will provide the security that you need,
and is why all Coastal credit and debit cards now feature chip technology. This new chip
technology adds another layer of encryption to protect your sensitive data and thwart
fraud. EMV cards are embedded with computer chips and tethered to technology that’s used
to authenticate chip-card transactions. Here’s what you need to know about our Chip (EMV)

Why A Chip (EMV) Card Is The Right Choice For You

• Unique, encrypted transaction code is generated every time you use your Coastal debit or credit card to provide your card with maximum security
