> We don't have pins on our chip cards

That seems to be true, what I can't figure out is why.

Because the fees on signature transactions are higher.

Are you sure? The only information I can find that agrees with you is about debit cards, where PIN means it uses a different payment network. Credit PIN uses the same network as credit signature, so it seems unlikely the fees would be different.
