Chip and PIN

Saturday May 6, 2006
Chip and PIN has been introduced to deal with card fraud and is already proving successful with lost and stolen, and counterfeit card fraud, down by almost a third in the first half of 2005. Most London retail outlets now offer Chip and PIN for credit and debit card payments. This means you no longer have to sign a paper receipt, but simply enter a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN), just as you would at an ATM machine. Learn more about Chip and PIN.
