Already in the works. If your credit card doesn't have a chip, call the issuer. Chances are they have a new version available and they can replace your current card.

BTW, chip and PIN is not all that common around the world. It is mandated in the UK (since mid 2000's) but it is optional in most other parts of Europe. I haven't been back to Asia in some time, but I haven't heard of any countries there where "chip and PIN" is actually required. In all my travels, the only time I was not able to use a credit card without a "chip and PIN" was when trying to buy some metro tickets in Madrid. The machines in the metro required a card with a chip AND a PIN, so I ended up using cash.

someone tried to rob me today via my credit card..but fortunately the credit card caught them. why don't they bring chip and pin to the us like most other places in the world.

Probably a Frenchman.

Always with their guns and hoodies. It's time someone do something about this menace.

Lettuce bring this person to justice.
