I would just be happy if I could actually use my "chip and pin" credit card when performing a transaction. I have yet to find a retailer where I can actually use it.
- 51Cards 11y agoInteresting, where are you located? Here in Canada I use mine practically everywhere on a daily basis.

- jessaustin 11y agoI love paper checks.
- jlgaddis 11y agoYep, I still write several checks a month too (almost exclusively for rent, utilities, and the occasional donation).
- kwhitefoot 11y agoI think the last cheque I wrote was at least 15 years ago. They don't exist here, Norway, any more.

- acranox 11y agoJust in the past few months I've been seeing many more of them around the Boston area in the U.S. at big stores. It's coming.
- pokoleo 11y agoChip-and-Signature is becoming one of the standards in the U.S, not Chip-and-Pin. Mastercard is one of the companies trying really hard to prevent pin numbers from happening. It's almost as if an executive heard that "biometric" is happening, and decided to take a bet on it.
- ufmace 11y agoI'm in the US, and I had never seen anybody actually use it up to a week or so ago, even though lots of retailers are putting in the chip-capable readers. But I've been traveling for the last week or so, and I just ran into a couple of retailers in other states where I had to scan the chip of my cards instead of the mag strip for the charge to go through - and one of them was Target. So it looks like it is coming to the US, slowly but surely.
