Has been like that for 10 years now, to my knowledge we haven't got any much problems with Skimming around here... We only get that when we travel to the US or to exotic countries in the far east.
Most do these days.

Visa / MasterCard / Amex finally threw down the gauntlet and gave retailers a drop dead date to convert by or they would no longer honor fraud.

Retailers were told either you get on board or you eat it.

Still, even in too many places where chipped readers are installed they have not been integrated into the merchants POS.

It’s getting better, slowly.
