    My understanding is that the US is only partially switching by not going with a pin number too. That the rest of the world is using Chip and Pin and we will be doing Chip and Sign. Are instances of Chip & Pin safer or more secure than signing?

    You know how stores have traditionally processed your credit card by reading its magnetic strip? Well that’s going away starting in October. ... This technology will supposedly reduce instances of credit card fraud.

    the new cards will still have magnetic strips you can use for merchants who haven’t upgraded yet.

    Uhh... so how is this supposed to help?

      Merchants will need time to make the transition.
