BETA Test Disclaimers:

**due the sensitive nature of the chip construction. There is a low possibility of Chip Damage occurring during the EMV Chip Swap procedure. 

**In the off chance of a client’s original EMV chip is damaged during the swap procedure, the client will be notified and asked to request a replacement card from their financial institution/cc company. This will delay the production process.

**Beta EMV Chip Swap™ procedure overall average is 98% Successful, but in the off chance that the chip does not function when a client attempts a transaction; the registers EMV Bypass protocol will take effect; forcing the client to SWIPE the card; thus allowing the client to complete a transaction.

**RFID Contactless Touch Pass/ PayWave Cards are identified by the PayWave Logo seen in the example above.  If your plastic card has this logo printed on it, be aware those types of cards have a 90% rate of success with the Beta EMV Chip Swap Procedure. Meaning the chip functions 100%, but the contactless feature is completely disabled. 

**The laboratory at MCC is perfecting the procedure daily. Rest assured our laboratory techs will apply great care to the construction of your New Metal Credit/Debit Card.
