Chip Debit Card shops and Bank Shops

Soooooo I've noticed tons of chip reader debit card shops in my area going undone because I live in farm country where the roads are often too narrow for a four wheeler and certainly not made for two cars to pass... many routes are gravel or old pavement that was dumped there to avoid waste, and you see cattle, chickens, pigs, and llamas as a daily scene.

Anyhoo my regular bank issues cards on site without chips but I see tons of bank shops on the boards that are out there... What banks do you guys know of in the south east coast area that issue chip cards? Someone told me First Community does. I'm not asking about mystery shops necessarily here so no violations in that regard-- I'm asking what banks you folks know of who issue those fabulous chip reader cards grinning smiley I was thinking I could do a bank shop and make the opening of the account worth my while so I could get a chip card and pick up these quick $15-$20 shops that are all around me.

PS tried to Google chip reader EVM cards but no luck on getting specific banks in the VA, WV, NC, SC etc area.

BB&T, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, NASA FCU come to mind.

If you have an account with BB&T, you can get monthly rebates on some of the locations you shop.

I don't know when, but all cards have to be chipped by a certain date.

Thanks for the tips! BBT is local for me and I know of a Wells Fargo a bit of a ways away but it's an area I end up going to now and again.

Part of the reason I did Wells Fargo as I was able to score an account opening shop so you might see if you could find one of those. I'm getting emails about those in many areas daily.
That's what I was hoping to hear! I can get a card, open an account, and score some extra shops. I'm really trying to get more into mystery shopping and make a better income of it. I'd also like to be more selective on shops as right now I feel inclined to snag up everything I can before another shopper does since they're so few between in rural farm country...

clinen, in MD, BB&T is shopped regularly by one MSC, and occasionally by two. Bank of America is shopped regularly by two MSCs, and occasionally by two. Wells Fargo is shopped regularly by two, and once in a blue moon by one MSC. NASA FCU and Woodforest are also occasional shops.

All of those banks have chips.

Check here -->[www.mysteryshopforum.com];--. Pua asked a similar question and got a lot of responses.

Chase also does, if you have them. About the chip emv shops- they are frigging hard. I find it difficult to get the required pics that they want done discretely. I have taken to making a video and then screenshoting them because it is hard to get stills that they want easily.

There's an idea! I have done about five of them and some have been easy enough with a distracted cashier or a lot going on but one was really hard to manage.
