No, Chase doesn't have any chip-and-PIN credit cards. All recently issued Chase cards are chip-and-signature credit cards. They have a small computer chip embedded inside, just like chip-and-PIN cards. The difference is in how you verify your identity when you use the card. With a chip-and-signature card, you have to sign your name when you make a purchase. A chip-and-PIN card requires a four-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number).
Naturally, it’s easier to do a false signature than to find out someone’s PIN. So, chip-and-signature cards are slightly less secure than chip-and-PIN cards. But both types are more secure than cards that only have a magnetic stripe because they use stronger encryption.

You might have trouble using a chip-and-signature card at an automated terminal, though.

A chip-and-PIN credit card works a lot like a traditional debit card at an ATM. However, when making purchases, rather than swiping a magnetic stripe credit card, you insert (or “dip”) a chip-and-PIN card into a payment terminal and follow the prompt to input your PIN. The PIN is then compared to information stored on the embedded computer chip, and the transaction is either approved or denied.
Such transactions are the norm in many...

The easiest way to get a cash advance on a credit card without a PIN is to go to one of your credit card company's branch locations, if it has any. You will need to ask the teller for a cash advance and present your card along with a government-issued photo ID. You could also ask your credit card’s issuer for so-called credit access checks, which you can then use to withdraw cash from your credit line. These...
