This is ultimately down to disability discrimination. However you will have to request it - they wont offer it. Disability legislation also means they cant actually ask you about the disability. Suffice to say, if you want a Chip and Signature card, they have no grounds to refuse the request.
Beware that some Chip & Sig cards will not work in unattended terminals like garage forecourts, and you obviously wont be able to use an ATM to obtain cash.
I like to think they are a must have accessory for those who like to sport a tin foil hat and prefer a belt with their braces.
That did make me laugh! Thanks0
