RBS to issue EMV readers

It was announced yesterday, which I missed, that RBS (and Natwest) will shortly start issuing their EMV readers for online banking. These are not just for start-of-session (or even significant transaction) authentication, but should also help prevent transaction hijacking either by trojans or MITM phishing / pharming /p-whatever-ing web sites.

Assuming I get mine (and I may now be on a black list), I will let you know how the whole process works.
