Since the chip verifies the PIN, is it protected against brute force cracking? I know some cards become "blocked" if a wrong PIN is presented three consecutive times. Is this a chip feature, and if so can the chips be "reset" by the bank?
PayEx is large in the Nordic countries (Norway,Sweden,Denmark,Finland) but apparently has some global support as well.
Unfortunatly there's no public word on pricing.
