My bank said "Due to security, we have not issued any of these chipped
cards, so all cards issued are safe."

The credit card companies have a zero liability policy and they don't
let you (or anyone) go doing a whole bunch of PIN-less transactions in
a row without checking once in a while.

I think it's safer than cash.

Ditto here. My bank called once and asked "Did you just spend $1,200
at Fifi's Boutique?" After I stopped laughing, she said "I didn't
think so. OK, we'll send out a replacement credit card within a week.
Cut the other one up."

Another time, the card just showed up with a letter saying that they'd
seen some strange activity and swapped cards, just in case. I love my
bank!
