Any problems using ATM machines if my card doesn’t have a chip in it? The U.S. banks are verrrrry slow at putting chips in the cards.

I´d be very surprised if your chip free card wouldn´t work in the ATMs.

Bear in mind Iceland is as near as a cashless society as it is possible to be, so you can pay for just about anything on your card.

Thanks for the reply, younggod. Hmmm........I prefer a society with cash - my credit card company charges all kinds of extra fees when using it internationally ! Have been to other near cashless societies.
