Canada has transitioned mostly to chip and pin (anecdotally, 95% of debit transactions I've done lately), and I've seen a really low failure rate on my cards. I can think of once in the last year I got chip errors on the reader.
- jholman 11y agoI'm Canadian. I've never had a mechanical failure on chip&pin. A friend of mine seems to have failures constantly at a certain liquor store; dunno if it's the debit card she's using, or the store's reader, or both. But back when we used mag stripes, I used to see failures all the time. The anecdata in my life says chip&pin is FAR more reliable.
