I know UK merchants are required to accept signature transactions by law, but for other countries, why can't merchants simply disable signature functionality in their terminals if they're averse? That way it'll still ask for a PIN if a card that has a PIN is used. Or are merchants in other countries restricted from doing so due to their merchant agreements?
