Business research firm Field Agent recently conducted an audit of 100 chip processing systems at leading retailers including Walmart. It also undertook a survey of 300 consumers who use chip cards. In the survey, only 37% of the respondents reported a preference for EMV cards over the swiping variety; 63% said they would rather swipe a card than insert a chip card.
