Duly noted. Just to make sure that people aren't getting their hopes up, nothing on their website indicates that a chip+pin product is available to anyone in the US. On top of that you have to get these in person at one of their retail locations. The fees are pretty high, and I'm puzzled to see how this product offers any advantage over an ATM/Debit card linked to your checking/savings account.
