When the cardholder is present, UnionPay transactions require card verification by cardholder signature. In addition to a signature, some cards required the entry of a Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Signature. If present, the cardholder must sign the merchant copy of the receipt, including transactions where the cardholder has entered a PIN.
PIN. Both UnionPay chip cards and magnetic stripe only cards may prompt the cardholder for a PIN. Some cards permit the cardholder to bypass the PIN, if he/she has configured the card in this manner with the issuing bank.
NOTE: It is up to the cardholder to know whether his or her card requires a PIN.
