Source please? Because if you're right, my bank lied to me when they said they couldn't see whether I paid by chip or by magstripe.

Your Bank is lying, or more correctly has either poorly trained front end staff or a rubbish interface to their EFT system.

They have to know for fraud investigation. I believe it's also why many companies can't upgrade: they need a new POS that can log the transaction as stripe, chip or NFC/Apple aPay
