:Here's another angle which we've touched on a bit but only a bit. How many of the new terminals being put in place are not pin capable? I certainly don't have figures on this but can you imagine the screaming coming from merchants who may opt for terminals that are not pin compliant or put them in places not accessible to customers to enter pins if a year or two down the line suddenly the new mandate is for pins? I just don't think it is the intent of the acquirers to implement signatures for now and then in the near future go to pins. It might lead to rioting in the streets.
