Like this shit didn’t just happen over night here in the USA, it took decades and is still not the standard like in Europe. We are pathetic about security
@@seanyoch2879 For French card it was the norm. I have never see someone use the magnetic band As it's often the case, since we adopted the technology later, we imposed a more modern standard since it did not have to replace another one already well installed.
i work in the payment tech industry and the way you broke it down was top notch. thank you for the concise presentation. earned a new subscriber and hope this channel blows up !
You have the NFC portion missing the coolest part of the technology. The card uses induction to charge and power the chip and the chip getting the electricity powers up and THEN it will send it's signal through radio waves specifically 13.56 MHz. I don't normally correct people but with this I just thought how cool it was to know they power up through induction so I had to share it with the class. Amazing video though.

Just about every business in our area has a insert style chip reader but there are less than 5 within 15 miles of my house that take tap to pay which really sucks. Tap to pay really isn’t popular a,one businesses it seems
Prior to 1985 there was no magnetic stripe. It was an imprint from the embossed numbers on the card and a phone call to the bank for swipes above the floor limit
In the summers of 1969 and 1970 I worked the evening late shift at a Sunoco station in Maryland. We had about 50/50 cash and credit card. We used a multi-part form (light card, carbon paper, thin paper on top and a clackity swipe machine to imprint the card's raised name and numbers on the form. I wrote the price, license tag and date by hand, then gave the customer the paper copy. The owner's bookkeeper had to collate, add up and submit the card copies for billing, etc. Lots a manual steps and unavoidable errors, etc. Stone age, really.

She made the comment about not being monetized and I thought “how does she not have 100k+ subs?” This is a great video and really satisfied my curiosity about why the heck we had to change cards so many times.
First time viewing channel... really clearly explained, graphics used sparingly and when needed (IMHO). I really enjoyed this history element too. Great channel.
The quality of this channel is amazing. I actually thought this was a WSJ/Bloomberg piece until you said you haven’t been monetized yet. So talented. Your channel will blow up soon as the quality of the work speaks for itself and is undeniably great. Instantly subscribed and all the best.
I have noticed that all of sudden my credit cards are having five year life span instead of just good for 2 years. I didn't know why but now I do. Thanks Alex for a great education and I am so glad I found your YT channel. SUBSCRIBED!!! 👍😎
It was a Frenchman (Roland Moreno) who invented and patented the chip card in 1975. The French were therefore the first to have one. American banks refused to pay royalties. If Americans have chip cards now, it is mainly because the patent has expired.
This is the first but definitely not last video I watched from your channel. Great quality and information breakdown. Earned a sub, keep up the good work 🤙
I always expose my card strip to a strong magnet, rendering the strip useless. It makes it so skimmers don't work. Only problem is I can't use it in an ATM or some parking pay stations, for which I keep one card only for those purposes, attached to a small account with very little money to steal.
My question regarding those magnet strips is, why keep them around? What services only use magnetic strips still for payments? And why should ATMs not work if the magnetic strip is invalid, but both EMV and NFC still are?
@@lajawi. Because fraud makes them far too much money. It's also job security for the employees dealing with it, or not, as the case may be. I've erased my mag stripes also.
Before there were magnetic strips, the card was run through a device that physically imprinted the numbers on a two-part receipt, similar to a mimeograph machine. At the end of the day/week/month, the store's copy of the receipt was sent to the credit card company or bank. That made it quite easy for people to exceed their credit limits.
I am so glad that YT algorithm is finally recommending quality channels, even though they are new. Helps a lot to get good channels monetized sooner. I think you have a natural talent for explaining how stuff works. Thx :-)
Great video! As someone with a background in RFID and payments, I really appreciate you doing all the research. This is a complicated timeline and most other RUclipsrs miss parts or don't get it right. Bravo!
Alex, as a fellow creator, let me compliment you on your content and delivery style. You’re an excellent communicator! Thanks for using your skills to share information in a very easy to listen and digest manner. Bravo!!
You are really great at presenting info effectively. I learned a lot from your timeline. I remember layaway plans. I was just a kid, but I remember. I don't think they were 'credit' plans. You didn't get your product first. The store reserved your product while you made payments towards it's purchase. When you made all the payments, you got the product. As for the rest, a few technical details were maybe a bit off, but worth it to have such a complete story told. Thank you and keep it up!
Probably not necessary, but one of the biggest changes was the move from imprint machines to swiping the cards. I was in retail when we had to run the physical card through the imprint machine onto a voucher. This imprinted the information from the raised letters and numbers on the card, and then you had to call the card company to get an authorization number for the charge. It's somewhat amazing that the raised letters and numbers on the plastic cards are just now starting to disappear. Nice Video!
So informative. Australia here and visited the USA a while back now. I was so surprised that you didn’t have any of the payment tech that we did. Especially in the southern states. I was having to swipe, and also sign and show ID to confirm signature. I couldn’t believe it. We hadn’t done that for so many years, especially the signing and ID thing. Thanks again for such an awesome video.
So clearly communicated - thank you. I still have a mag stripe on my card but it's deactivated by default. The bank app can activate it for, say 30 mins, if absolutely needed. This happened once in Bali, where the airport ATM used old stripe technology.
During the magnetic swipe days, it was extremely common to get a ‘Carbon Copy’ by physically swiping on top of card a multiple copy pressure sensitive and carbon copy paper.
Very nice! I'm from Costa Rica and I actually saw this timeline happening in my country. First swiping, then contactless cards and now the phone. Here nobody uses cash anymore. And also we have a new system by which you link your phone number to your bank account. So I can transfer you money, regardless of your bank just by knowing your phone number. So even if you are in a remote place in the country, as long as they can give you wifi or a hotspot youncan pay them. The last big thing that continued using cash was public buses. And this year they started implementing dataphones, so practically people won't need to use cash anymore.
I came across this from a RUclips recommendation - first time watching one of your videos. Just wanted to say that the video was fantastic - great content and great quality video production. I'm sure you be a much larger channel if you keep going this way. All the best!!
Omg such an informative and terrific video! In Turkey we still do not use Google or Apple Pay payment systems, so learning the tech behind the chipped/magnetic card system was really useful for me. Thanks for the video!
Part of the reason chip cards came as a surprise to Americans was because "business friendly" government didn't forcefully mandate and subsidize the necessary changes, so vendors weren't compelled to pay up for an "unnecessary" upgrade of their POS terminals.
Amazing content! I love how you've broken down these complex ideas into something that's easy to understand! I'm going to make my teenagers sit down and binge your channel! Keep up the good work, and hope you're monitized soon!
We're trialling 2 factor contactless in the UK. There's a fingerprint pad on the card, that has to be held with your thumb at the same time as tapping.
What's funny is that IIRC, Target supported chip cards around 2001, but I think it was only certain AmEx cards. Target discontinued their chip readers a few years later.
I was just asking a friend of mine how any of the card payment methods worked, so this video popped up at a perfect time! Great content, just ‘tapped to pay’ with the subscribe button!
In addition to the Target and Home depot breaches there was another reason to adopt new security technology. As a traveller to Europe an American would find themselves unable to pay with a mag stripe card at gas stations and restaurants and later all sorts of stores as Europe discontinued the use of mag stripe readers altogether. You had to carry foreign cash, lots of it.

Canada has been using NFC for YEARS. it always amazes me that I still have to sign a chit in a lot of USA restaurants. Primary Scam Locations are Skimmers at Gas Stations in the U.S.
It amazes me as a fast food worker that people will still have the swipe only cards after all these years. I also hate them because our card readers are finicky with them.
Be careful with tap to pay. A lot of banks add a % surcharge to use it instead of a flat fee. So if you are purchasing expensive items, you could find yourself having a tap to pay charge sometimes in the hundreds of dollars instead of cents if you were to insert your card.
About 45 years ago, I was in a compute trade show, and one booth had mag stripe readers.

FYI smart card NFC works differently compared to how your phone talks to stuff, such as with bluetooth. Your phone creates its own radio waves to talk with other devices and powers itself. It also has its own receiver so it can talk both ways. The smart card instead enters the field generated by a card reader, powers itself through electric induction, and then modulates the existing field created by the card reader, which the reader notices and extracts data from. Its also different from RFID, which is like how your car easy pass works in toll roads. Just a small correction.
European, my parents told me that during their trip early 2000 to the USA the sellers were surprised by the golden chips. A futuristic thing
I felt the same way my first time in Europe!
@@EverythingButTheCode somewhat ironical as in the 2000s card payment was way more widespread in the US than in most parts of Europe

Thats actually similar to a Wacom tablet, which uses induction to charge and power the pen and the pen powers up and THEN sends its signal.

Be careful with tap to pay. A lot of banks add a % surcharge to use it instead of a flat fee. So if you are purchasing expensive items, you could find yourself having a tap to pay charge sometimes in the hundreds of dollars instead of cents if you were to insert your card.

So just for kicks, I swiped my card, and big surprise! amongst my account numbers, there was my PIN in plaintext.
