Umm, most of the rest of the first world uses chip and pin. This is more a US problem than anything more general.

FWIW, South Africa started moving to C&P 6 years ago - http://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/182/34015.html - as did Nigeria - http://www.atmmarketplace.com/news/postilion-drives-africas-... . And Kenya is further along on the migration than the US - http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2014/02/10/chip-and-pin-future-c... .

Chip amd pin or EMV cards seem to have quite high usage in Africa, the Middle East and South America [1]. Although perhaps you think cash dominates a lot more in poorer parts of the world?

The first, second, and third world are all on Chip+PIN. The US is the sole holdout for mag-stripe cards.
