Their fraud levels fell significantly - We had a presentation about Chip
and Pin at the last DP Forum meeting - it was very interesting - If I could
remember the password for the forum website I'd be able to tell you more! -
Anyone else got access....?

I think there is some merit in the argument. I would be interested to see
how the French have found the system as they have been using this method
for
some years. I first came across it when I bought something in a department
store in Paris in 1989, they swiped my card then gave me a machine to type
my PIN in. I have done the same on several occasions in France since.

I wonder what their fraud levels are like? Anyone know?
