No it's not. Because Payback has 30 million customers in Germany. Their whole business model is literally based around mining user data. In markets you'll see people paying with cash and then using the Payback card for the bonus p

As far as I'm aware, French court does not have any jurisdiction over web.com - therefore the transfer was unfounded.

Stealing someone's identity is much harder with the data that schufa has. And stealing identity isn't really a thing here. Like to open a bank account you still need to go to the post office with your ID which they then confirm, s

Yes, that's what's important for landlords. You get a letter from scufa saying "There are no negative entries for this person". That's enough. However if you try to get a phone contract, credit card, internet contra

Fair enough. I've donated, even though I still think that developing OCR app might be a bit waste of resources. I still find it to be lesser "evil" than schufa - which, I'm pretty sure, is also extremely discriminatory t

Yeah, I meant that more in the sense that they focus more on new fancy half broken mobile first features than on what makes bank a bank - things like working transactions.

N26 is the only one that has semi useful applications and web interface. My main problem with them is that they're first and foremost a startup, not a bank. Some issues I've had with them include double transactions, failed schedu

Too bad everything else is abysmal when it comes to technology and payments in Germany. Most places don't accept anything besides cash for payments. Opening a bank account still involves a ton of paperwork. Official mobile apps, if the

Are you proposing we assume people are guilty until proven innocent? What if they _are_ innocent, and therefore keep denying it? Are you worried that innocent people will insist they're innocent, or what? Note: I'm not saying that

Just because something ends up positively doesn't necessarily make it a good idea. If someone sold everything they have and bet it on red in roulette (47.4% chance of win), even if they win I'd still call the idea stupid. Bitcoin
