I would be very happy if the thrust were such to do away with cvm for small purchases on a worldwide basis. The only question would be just what constitutes a small purchase. The banks have become much more capable of spotting suspicious transactions although admittedly this sometimes leads to perfectly legitimate transactions being flagged; the price I suppose we have to pay but that has nothing to do with emv or pin or whatever. All I want is that I can complete a transaction quickly and easily. About 95% of my credit card transactions are for amounts under $50 or its equivalent anyway.
