Commenting on the anniversary of chip and PIN, Robert Kenley, head of credit cards at moneysupermarket.com, said: “A year on, chip and PIN has made a significant impact on reducing card fraud, indeed, figures show that total card fraud is down by five per cent. However people are set to benefit from pioneering technology that will utilise chip and PIN to safeguard them from fraud when making ‘remote’ purchases i.e. buying goods over the internet, the phone and mail order.
