- LadyCailin 10mo agoBoth my DNB and Nordea cards, as well as my personal and corporate Norwegian AMEX cards all have magnetic strip, and they’ve all been issued somewhat recently.
- fragmede 10mo agoYeah, but have they ever been used? Will they ever?
- LadyCailin 10mo agoNot in Norway. But they very well might be abroad.
- bosse 10mo agoI’ve never received a debit or credit card in Norway without a magstrip. One of the points of having one is to use it in places abroad where chip or contactless isn’t implemented. It’s become thinner but the stipe is still there.
- lostlogin 10mo agoIf you work near high field magnets, mag strips don’t last long. Chips are fine though so that’s another bonus.
