> In civilized countries they have direct bank to bank transfers
I'm sure whatever country you're from (or otherwise alluding to) is a fine place, no need for the transparent insecurity. :) Narrowly, I agree that secure (and fee-less) bank-to-bank transfers would be preferable to CC.
> They are required for the CC transaction, this adds an additional player that should not be necessary.
We're positing a situation where CC's aren't available, so it's not an additional player but rather a different player.
- digisign 5y ago>> CC's aren't available A misstatement by me, still they are extra to what should be a bank to bank matter.
- throwaway894345 5y agoNo argument from me here. I would like to see better financial infrastructure. Specifically the idea that VISA is permitted to collect a 4% sales tax on virtually everything is a real bummer.
- digisign 5y agoCome to think of it, perhaps I was thinking that since most folks would rather have/trust a credit card, an additional path is just that, somewhat redundant.
