Signature & Chip, yeah, that's right. I imagine both offer better security (and better usability in advanced European kiosks, dispensers, etc.) than the old school magnetic strip cards.

Boy, these new chip credit cards certainly weigh more---almost feels like there's a micro battery inside but I guess it's just the microchip?
