Investopedia explains 'Chip Card'

Credit and debit cards are chip cards, as are security key cards that grant access to restricted areas. Usually this type of card is easily replaceable in the event of loss or damage. Some chip cards (i.e. credit and debit cards) also require the use of a separate PIN number.
