We have lived in the US for 18 months now and had to deal with more fraudulent charges on our cards and bank accounts (about $2000
) than in the previous 30 years of living in Europe (a nice round $0).
I just don’t understand everyone is ok with this broken system.

Last time this happened to me it was a gas station; still have not updated to support chip readers in most areas. Simplest would be to allow touch to pay rather than chip & pin as most in US don’t have a pin on their credit cards. (Also only use ur debit card to get cash at ATM)

PINs would add 5 seconds to the average transaction time so
@VisaSecurity won’t implement them. We are Americans and must buy, buy, buy as fast as possible. https://cjshaver.com/bl0121/2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes
Love that article! Not doing pin is a fear for transactions taking longer but also about rich credit card users not being able to remember the pins of their multiple credit cards and then potentially consolidating on one card
