   Yes. A credit card without a chip can continue to be used in the same locations as a chip credit card. However, in some countries you may be asked to use your PIN instead of signing to authorize your purchase or you may even be asked for both a PIN and a signature. For this reason, we recommend that you always know your PIN when travelling overseas.
   Travelling to the UK and Europe - Customers travelling to the UK or Europe should not be concerned about card acceptance if they have a non-chip credit card. Merchants should continue to accept foreign-issued, non-chip cards. In addition, payment terminals being used in the UK and Europe can identify a non-chip card. When the card is inserted, the terminal will know if a PIN or signature is required and will provide prompts accordingly. If you encounter a problem with a merchant, you can ask them to swipe the card and follow the prompts on the terminal.
