In the last week, I've gone to both banks with which I hold credit cards, Chase and CapOne. I've managed to get both of them to issue me new cards with chips.

Unfortunately, they are both Chip and Sign, which seems to be the standard for most USA banks from what I've observed. Again the USA seems to want to be counter to the rest of the world as if saying "The USA knows best." Of course we know that's true, we're still on the imperial measurement system, along with Liberia, while the rest of the world has gone Metric. My guess is, like everything else in the USA corporate world, cheaper is better, and damn the people of the country, lets just be dumb and let the companies maximize their profits. The official explanation is, "We don't want you to have to remember another PIN."
