There are some 300 million Maestro cardholders in Europe, many of which cannot use the card for a card not present purchase.  MasterCard is working to enable this buying population and will share their current capabilities and thoughts for the future.

Chip & PIN Conversion & CNP Fraud Impact Steve Clough
Head of MOTO – Consumer Marketing Visa International EU

The adoption of Chip & PIN has been mandated in Europe for retail merchants.  While that does not directly impact card not present merchants, there is concern that card not present merchants may experience increases in fraud as the bad guys look for new ways to use stolen and fraudulent cards.  It is important to understand how merchants can prepare for this.
