Yes, I think sometimes, some people don't like change.
For example why is there chip and signature?
Surely if one is able to use a mobile they should be able to use
chip and PIN
The only problem with chip and PIN is, in my view,
the key pad design can vary.

Interestingly, you are responsible for the first £50 of losses due to
fraud (is that standard for any kind of card), and contactless
terminals ask for a PIN after every six or so transactions.
