Re: Chip 'n' Pin
Can only be a good thing as far as im concerned. We have had our chip n pin terminal for about 3 mths now and found that about half of the ppl know their pin. It is a new system and ppl need time to adjust, thus the Jan 05 deadline. Whilst the system is still open to fraud (i.e someone gets your card and pin they could have a field day) it is far easier to change your pin than your signature. Also the checking is taken out of the cashiers hands thus human error is removed. In a few years time it will be second nature to us all. One thing I think is needed is a secondary ID like a picture on the reverse of the card. Still give it about 3 or 4 years and they will by introducing retina scans and fingerprint recognition....... there's a thought!
