I'll be receiving my UNFCU card in the post sometime next week. I'll be sure to post the CVM here unless someone beats me to it.
As a footnote...I opened an account with UNFCU just so I could have their chip/PIN card. When my main financial institution (BofA) phoned me yesterday to follow up on my chip/PIN concerns, I made it very clear to them that I have opened an account with UNFCU and I told them the exact reason why this was done. It wasn't a threat, but rather, I wanted them to understand how important this issue is to some customers. If UNFCU works out I just might make them my primary FI.
I can't help but wonder how many customers UNFCU has gained simply because they offer a chip/PIN card.
