I am very aware of this information. I will not say how! But providing it simply makes it worse for the redundant repeated over and over question of "What US bank provides a chip and pin card?" The answer is NONE, NONE, NONE. And it will be a VERY VERY LONG TIME! before they do.

If you think all of those countries are chip and pin, then you really don't know what you are talking about. You have to seperate the hype and agenda touting of the EMVco from fact. The fact is there is a SMALL percentage of countries issuing chip and pin currently. Not to say that there are not some issuers in many countries issuing chip and pin. But not all issuers in any country currently issue chip and pin. Some countries are a much higher percentage and many are zero. The EU countries are the closest to 100%! That is the meaning of my statement.
