ePaynews: U.K. grocery chain Tesco expects to chip-and-PIN-enable its self-checkouts in the wake of competitors Sainsbury's, Waitrose and M&S, whose in-store self-checkouts are already EMV-compliant. Until now, Tesco customers have used the store's self-checkouts without keying a PIN or signing for transactions. If any fraudulent card transactions occur at its self-service kiosks before then, Tesco is liable for the costs, even if other security measures are used to compensate for the lack of EMV security.
