Right. This is now standard procedure in Canada. The main reason all the banks went to chip & pin is we actually have decent banking regulations in Canada.
The Canadian banks all said a long time ago they were moving to this system, and they did. The U.S. banks are all scared to go first, because there's no incentive for any one of them to do so.
