Not to mention: choice.
Most of my friends here in the Netherlands don’t have a credit card. Instead they have Maestro (a debit card — aka Pin — with a bank account number on it instead of a credit card number). If you want to sell things online in the Netherlands, iDeal (a payment system) or go home.
- bnt 5y agoAnd you’re ok with that? An entire nation, single way of paying?
- sbierwagen 5y agoSome countries are small. The Netherlands has a population of 17 million. About the size of Michigan and Arizona combined.
- withinboredom 5y agoIt’s size and population is really similar to the city of L.A. and outskirts IIrC.
- withinboredom 5y agoIst that similar to the US? You basically only have credit cards there. Even debit cards run on the same network these days.
- yunohn 5y agoFor context, because I see confused replies - Maestro (MC) and VPay (Visa) are subsidiaries setup to provide EU-mandated low transaction fees. You can always get an actual credit card, though you’d be hard-pressed to find an offline store that accepts it - usually only e-commerce.
