The chip cards here generally require physical contact with the terminal. The next standard of eftpos terminals, iirc brig enforced in 2014 all require built in RFID |

I usually only go to Pak N Save who have eftpos at the pumps like Mobil used to here. |

| 1269172 | 2012-04-11 12:08:00 | Ok, so can somebody explain to me why my Westpac Amex has the security code on the front of the card? That's for all AMEX cards. Could be so all the no.'s are on the front together? |

Simple, if it was on the back, the average american would have to close one eye and stop chewing gum in order to release enough brain cells to ask what a security code was, so the time taken to complete on-line transactions would cause the interweb to slow to a crawl. Death rates at the head of hotdog and hamburger stand queues would rise sharply as well. Present company (honorary kiwi excepted). :D Cheers Billy 8-{) :devil |

I have NEVER worked where they are allowed to be used and that included a lot of high end restaurants. |

Most places where you ask "Do you accept American Express?" you either get "NO!!!" or "I dunno". We use it because you get double the amount of rewards points than using Visa. |
