A lot of US banks are using the chips as well, but there's definitely one's that don't. I'm sure if you wrote the data to a card with a strip you can use a knife to fuck up the chip so it won't work and at a place like walmart you'll dip the chip in 3 times with it failing each time and then you'll be able to swipe it. I know that's the case with a personal card of mine with a fucked up chip. Chip won't work in a pos what so ever yet I can do that to make purchases, and it still let's me use it in atm. I don't know if that's because the ATM is able to read the chip when the POS can't but I believe it gives up on the chip after it sees that it doesn't work and decides that it needs to read data from the stripe instead.
