Considering how long it took chip and pin to become predominant (which is to say still not 100%) I would say US banking is pretty behind most of the world.

Excellent point. I've never encountered chip and pin in practice in the US, rather chip and signature.

All of my debit card POS uses in NYC have been chip+pin for several months.
