If you need to enter pin then it's no longer a contactless payment
In Malaysia, our contactless payment is not even really contactless. I bet 99% of the outlets you visited, you/cashier literally asked you to put ur card on the terminal. If you pass your card to the cashier, sometimes even they forcefully tap your card on the terminal until the card bends.

Gets on my nerve everytime when I see that because they are literally bending our cards and "hurting" the card. Anyways, yeah, we aint really "contactless".

Here's where it gets interesting. PBB looks like this. As long you wave (regardless pin entry or not), it's still considered as a contactless payment. I cannot speak for other banks/cards but mostly, it will be the same logic. At most, they will label it differently for the end user (for instance, 'pin entry'). If you realise, if we do put our card into the machine and enter pin, it will be labeled as "chip entry".
