New BofA Debit card with EMV chip

[One7]

Saw some info about how Bank of America was now offering their debit cards with an EMV chip. I never use my debit card but its still nice to have the option. Plus it just looks 10 times better, so I sent them a message requesting it and they are sending me out a new one.

Thats is awesome! Wells Fargo should do the same... But it was about time there was a Debit card with an EMV Chip

I agree, very cool to have. Im sure the other big banks will jump on board eventually, hopefully sometime next year

I did some research on Chase and supposedly they wont have an EMV on theirs until 2016, but I couldnt find any info on WF. I opened a WF account for the sole reason  of getting a Propel Amex cc from them next year, apparently they like banking relationships in order for people to get a card from them so Im being proactive. If I get one I'll have at least one card from all 4 of the big banks amongst many other and I will have completed  my journey. So it wont be a first to open an account at another bank for something like this, I just hope it pays off. This debit card is chip and pin so thats pretty awesome.

Did you make sure they aren't going to charge you? My understanding is that B of A has a $5 fee for an out-of-cycle debit card replacement, and that they are NOT making exceptions in this case.

They didnt mention anything about a fee so I would assume no but if they do I'll report back. It would be droll if they were to charge for that in my opinion.
