If what's been going on is any sort of indication, the fact that a bank is a US subsidiary of a major international bank offering chip and pin cards is meaningless. Barclay's is the perfect example. Barclaycard in the UK is 100% chip and pin (well maybe a few exceptions for handicapped carfdholders) but they've made it quite clear that for their US subsidiary, chip and signature with chip and pin capabilities is the way they put it.
