Yes here in the US you can have a PIN added to a credit card and you can then use it to get a cash advance at an ATM

Still a bit unsure about duplicating chips and all that, but it seems like if you target cash advances you can have fraud both in US and Canada at the same rate. Fine.
But I still say it's safer in Canada for overall purchases. I'ma go block all cash advances now.
