Its just another level of fraud protection. By generating codes that
cant
be intercepted it makes it very hard for anyone without both your card,
your card reader and your account log in details to carry out any serious
fraud.

not much point in them "IF" you can use any card reader is there??

Wrong. All the information is in the card. The reader is irrelevant.



One great advantage of the way any reader works with any card is that
the muggers can carry a reader to check that you have given them the
right pin for your card, so they no longer need to march people to the
cash machine
