also a lot of poors are unbanked and use greendot/preload able debit cards and check cashing instead of debit cards since the us hates poor people

chip+pin/signature chat is not relevant to the unbanked poor

there's nothing wrong with chip+pin really, the reason why the us is doing chip+signature instead is to lessen the complication of transition

a lot of the payment terminals have the facilities to handle chip cards, but if the US were to move to chip+pin, additional infrastructure would be needed to facilitate changing the offline PIN for offline transactions, which is baked into the chip.

also the difference between a PIN based transaction and a signature based transaction with a debit card in the US separates whether or not it's going over an interbank network like an ATM transaction vs a MasterCard/visa transaction

tl;dr chip+pin wouldn't work in the us so chip+signature is good enough

also the US isn't/won't be the only chip+signature country

Asymmetric POSTer

what's even better is banks have taken even longer to agree on how to do EMV on ATMs in the US so we'll be in magstripe with that poo poo even longer than credit/debit cards (but not forever, they finally agreed recently)

literal problems the rest of the world has solved and already competed the transitions for 2-15 years ago.

it actually ain't that much, every online transaction can run a script that can set the card's PIN, it's how barclay lets you set it online. but then again, convincing america to "use your old PIN one last time to get your card to update to the new PIN" would be basically rocket surgery, given the composition of this thread

they actually really hosed this up by introducing the "US DEBIT" application which is basically a huge hacky bullshit to let the merchant pick which interbank network the debit transaction goes to. "VISA DEBIT" app erryday

I had to write a check when I lost my card for a week and the cashier said he can print the check for me, all I have to do is sign. it ended up almost being faster than a card since u just sign and hand it over, but all the old people who normally write checks don't trust it so they still take 10 years to write it out.

exactly how much personal info did you give away then.

ive used checks to pay for groceries without having the cash many a time in college mein friends. if you cant use a lil fraud to get by b.c some fancy electreonics, well, i dont want nething 2 do w/ it.

ever buy cigarettes and a 40 with a bogus check? its a good feeling. drinking that 40 and smoking knowing that its hells of free. well, more like a loan. you know theyre not gonna empty that till until way later,m and prolly cash the che k tomottow., like 40 hours of intertest free loan on the 40 and cigarettes

didn't know that you could do that online like that, but that's cool/simple but you're exactly right americans would be too stupid to figure this out without blowing up the phones of their bank with PIN change issues

this is probably due to the federal reserve rules to cap debit card transaction fees. what's stupid is the push of all us banks to train consumers to use all their debit cards as visa/mastercards when we could have continued using EFTPOS
