Americans are used to entering PINs on debit cards, but not credit. However, in my recent experience in Iceland & Germany, most POS don't ask for a PIN on credit transactions either. The only time I was asked for a PIN on a credit card was at a gas pump.

That however is because of your American card and not the POS systems usually not asking.

I have to verify any transaction over 20$ with my Swiss credit card for example. Even on contactless
