Try swiping sometime. In my experience if you have a chip card and try to swipe it, the reader will reject the swipe and tell you to insert the card instead.

And then the chip card reader part of the terminal isn't connected to the bank network yet, and you're really screwed.

Just swipe it three or five or more times, and it might work anyway.

Welcome to the 21st Century.

You can enter your card number manually.
