Don't Dutch credit cards have a chip?

British ones have had them since around 2004. The technical security of the card is the same as a debit card. (There are legal differences.)

All cards in Europe have chip but CCs are mostly used here for online shopping outside of the EU and that's totally unsecure if you need to type all your CC informations to an unknown source for online orders.

They might actually. As for the security: I only meant online payments (should have clarified).
