UBS Credit Cards
Card use
UBS Credit Cards allow you to make simple and convenient cashless payments worldwide at over 29 million points of sale.
All UBS Credit Cards issued from mid-February 2011 will be equipped with the latest chip technology and PIN function. This will make paying with your credit card even more secure, not to mention quicker and easier. When using your card, at most points of sale you will be required to enter your PIN code instead of signing the sales receipt. Only in individual cases will you have to confirm the payment with your signature.
Information on the PIN function
If you require cash, you can withdraw up to CHF 1,000 francs a day from ATMs using your PIN code. You can withdraw larger amounts (up to CHF 10,000 francs per withdrawal) at selected bank counters 
. You can withdraw up to 40% of your card limit (UBS MasterCard Platinum: 100% of your card limit). Any additional balances paid into your credit card account can be withdrawn in full (at ATMs up to CHF 1,000 francs per day).
