That could be, I mean, even where it comes to a 'bank run' the banks only hold a fraction of the value they have in accounts.
Given that most people use their cards exclusively, even debit tap. Seriously, if any of you has not done it yet, turn off the tap on your bank card. The credit card at least they have to prove that YOU bought something in a dispute, but if someone takes your bank card and taps away 1000$, YOU have to prove to the bank that you had your card legitimately stolen or the assumption is you gave the card.
When swiping or using the chip reader, you need to use the PIN. Since the assumption is that the PIN is private to you if someone steals your card and uses the PIN the bank will assume that you gave them the PIN. You will be stuck trying to prove that they obtained the PIN without your help.
If someone steals your credit card and uses the PIN, that will likely be top of the list of questions, "how did they get the PIN?" but ultimately, they have to prove that you were responsible for the charges... and in using the password, that's strong evidence in their favor.

Wouldn't swiping be the same? So if someone steals your card and they swipe it instead if tapping, they would get by with it?

Unless you use it as "credit" instead of debit. I always choose that and never have to use my pin on purchases
I'm not sure how that relates...
