all they need do is open the existing card readers that talk up to the visa cards etc. then they would work ok, as the card reader would talk other than the card itself. _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Amro Bilal Sent: 22 July 2010 20:51 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Visa CodeSure Hi Edward, As I thought. They will just allow us to continue using our normal Chip and Pin cards. I reckon making this new Visa SureCard talks is tricky without spending a lot of money on developing and manufacturing. If my bank decides to let me carry on using my old Visa card I will probably understand their decision. I would be somewhat disappointed though because this new system sounds most advanced and secure as I said in an earlier post.

For those of you who missed the thread, you can read more at http://www.visaeurope.com/en/newsroom/news/articles/2010/visa_codesure_gets_ green_light.aspx Ed ?Dear Edward,? ?Thank you for your enquiry about Visa CodeSure.? ?We are acutely aware of the issues that people with a disability encounter and we spend a lot of time discussing their needs when we?re developing new products.? ?Equally we are constantly looking at innovative ways to deliver the most secure payment products, however, not all will be suitable for everyone.? ?Visa CodeSure is currently ready for commercial launch having been piloted in a number of markets, however, it is not intended for all bank customers. As the authentication application (the keypad functionality on the payment card) may not be accessible for all, a mobile applet is in development and will be available through our members (banks and card issuing providers) for customers who have accessibility problems. It is important that customers with accessibility / disability restrictions let their banks know so that they can be provided with the most appropriate products that accommodate their needs.? ?I hope that this goes some way to clarify our position.? ?Thank you for your interest.? __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5301 (20100722) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
