Maybe in America. In the rest of the world, we have had chipped cards for years (Canada, Europe) and people don't have a problem using them.
- exabrial 10y agoKeep in mind, we don't have chip-and-pin like you have. We have chip-wait-print-find-a-pen-then-sign-a-paper :( I'd totally be hapaying with chip/pin
- kyriakos 10y agoI haven't done that in so long I forgot how it used to be in the past..
- rtpg 10y agoAnd there aren't monthly mass data leaks of cards.

- egeozcan 10y agoI live in Germany and I think this could be simplified: - Items are scanned - The cashier tells you the amount - You mention that you'll pay with your card, usually showing it is enough too - The cashier activates the chip scanner - You insert your card to the reader - Wait a second or two, the screen changes to "Enter PIN" - You enter your PIN and press the green button - You wait around 5 seconds and hopefully it says "{success_message}\n\n Please remove your card" - You remove the card and put it back to your wallet - Receipt is printed, the cashier discards it if you don't take it. Sometimes they ask if you want to take it.
- dEnigma 10y agoFor purchases less than 25€ you only have to hold your card close to the reader and it will work without PIN, for amounts higher than that you also don't have to insert rhe card but again just hold it close to it and enter the PIN. At least that's the situation in Austria nowadays.
