On your point about contact less being hit-or-miss, this very much goes away when you have a number of options for vendors to choose from on the market, with terminals being supplied mainly by banks who want the business. Both competition and a lack of desire to deal with merchants having issues with the payment system provided lead to increases in reliability.
The overseas market has been saturated with chips for 10-15 years, and contact less for 5+, probably notably more.
- jalk 5y agoI have asked in several stores (in Denmark) where contactless doesn’t work, but the terminal has the required hardware - The merchant has to pay a fee to enable contactless. My auto mechanic bitched loudly about it, until I told him he wanted $200 for enabling “daytime running lights” in my rear lights, which is also just “flipping a bit”
