Typical American Visa credit card from HugeAmericanBank with no foreign exchange fee. I suspect it is related to the payment processor as hinted above.
It’s somewhat rare and I see it only in smaller stores. Like a few days ago I was in a mom and pop kebab shop in a small town and it didn’t work.
I’ve had similar problems on RyanAir planes in Europe (but for some reason whoever does payments for EasyJet, SAS, Norwegian, or British Airways I have no issues with)
- AnssiH 8y agoJust realized one possible cause - maybe your card isn't chip-and-pin like Swedish and other European cards? I guess some terminals/processors smaller places use might not be prepared to (or are configured not to) accept non-chip-and-pin cards. That would also explain why I haven't seen any issues - my cards are all chip-and-pin.
