Banks are not going to switch to PINs until the card networks force their hand. It doesn't make economic sense. A couple of small banks will continue to provide them to niche markets like people who want to pump fuel into rental cars in France on Sundays.
Or people who want to buy sex toys from a shop that is breaking network rules as noted above (why is it that - even back in the US - sex shops seem to be the most paranoid about card fraud - and willing to break network rules over it)
