It's still something that can be stolen
- gruez 5y agoit significantly cuts down on the incentive, though.
- spiderice 5y agoI feel like at this point people are just trying to come up with problems for the sake of it. Debit cards have pins. You can't just steal someone's debit card and go drain all the money. Sure there are other really hard issues to solve with homelessness. But their debit card getting stolen isn't one of them.
- woodruffw 5y agoMy debit card has a contactless pad. I think there’s a transaction limit on it of a few hundred dollars, but someone could very easily tap it and drain my account if that was all I had. But even that misses the point: not everybody has the means to wait 5-7 days for their bank to mail them a replacement card, even if no money is actually taken from the account. This is compounded when you consider that most of the companies that offer cheap banking accounts don’t have great branch service.
