Good info Gmood.

Interesting.  Inspect your new cards when they arrive for signs of tampering around the chip.

Re: Secret Service Warns of Chip Card Scheme

I'm trying to figure out why a large corporation would be using a debit card anyway?  Debit card transaction amounts are limited, for one thing.   Also, best practices in accounting are to never give anyone access to a payment account... ever.   There's no other reason to have a debit card.
