Debit cards require a pin, but credit card transactions less than some amount(I think it is $10) don't require anything other than the swipe.


Many debit cards can be processed as credit cards and then don't require a pin. My bank actually encourages using the debit card as a credit card by offering more points per purchase when you do it.
