I don't know about Unify but the general rule is if PIN isn't used when inserting, it won't be used for tap either. Even if it were, PIN generally only happens if you exceed the country's contactless limit anyway (or could exceed it, e.g. when using gas pumps). Plus, you can always tap a phone instead to avoid PIN entirely when abroad.
