One of the disadvantages that bank cards with EMV chips are slower in processing. The swipe cards are literally showed faster results than chip ones.
The cardholders, who use EMV technology has more security when providing card-present transactions. However, they provide a lack of protection for online transactions. This vulnerability is the most vital in the growing sphere of e-commerce.
