Paxum - Chip And Pin - Need Answers...
 

I asked this years ago - What are you doing about Chip And Pin?..

I need to renew again soon - Will I get a Chip and Pin card?....

Last time I asked I was told 'We are looking into it' - Or something similar - That was ages ago...

I can use the card in less and less places every day here in London - One cash machine in my suburb - In less than a year it will be in the US as well.....

What's the story - Am I going to pay for a card I can only use on the internet?..

Hi Eddy,

At this time we do not issue chip and pin cards. It will be implemented in the future and when that happens we will reissue the chip and pin card free of charge to customers who need to change it.

Thanks,

Ruth :)

Thanks for the answer Ruth - If you could remind your bosses that it is getting harder and harder to use the card here in the UK (and in Spain) I would be grateful...

Eddy.....

This year Australia is moving exclusively to chip and pin. It won't be long and we won't be able to use Paxum cards here.

Australia and NZ have always been great on this - I remember using EFTPOS 16 or more years ago...

you better start thinking about it quick - also most of Europe goes chip/pin exclusively soon

Most European merchants, or at least the brick and mortar stores, will still be able to take non-chip cards... BUT the fees will about double, so the stores, restaurants and whatever not will do their very best to try to teach people that they do not accept non-chip cards. It is already becoming increasingly harder to use a non-chip card like Paxum everywhere in Europe that I have visited.

We need contactless cards! :thumbsup

You guys don't just use your Paxum cards at ATM's? It's really not the ideal card to swipe for POS transactions :Oh crap

ATM's here read the chip. Stripes are being phased out.

Paypass please!
