How can you have a cashless society if I have to enter the pin every time I use my card? During my last trip to Stockholm using cards was more of a hassle than using cash. London/UK is more of cashless society than Stockholm/Sweden.

- rags2riches 7y agoMany stores don't require a pin for smaller amounts. With NFC cards it's really quite quick to pay. I think the deal is that the store, not the payment processor, eats the cost when a stolen card is used without a pin. But the increased turnover is probably worth it in many cases. Edit: Maybe they also require a pin for foreign cards when they wouldn't for a local? Just a guess though.
