Visa paying Companies to go cashless

The speed at which card/digital payments have increased is astonishing. In Sweden, 64% of transactions are digital and the country hopes to be entirely cashless by 2030. Homeless people in Sweden can also accept digital transfers by having a unique code, so the system is inclusive. It would appear that almost everyone in the country uses a system called Swish.

Youi can allredy get your bank cards converted to a chip and implanted intop your skin, waving your hand at the contactless device like a Jedi.

In all seriousness the Banks own the banking system. We get to use it for little or no cost, you can earn money from it in many instances. You can choose to not use it if you want, whats stopping you.

I think it's more a case of them getting to use our money at little or no cost (and seemingly without fear of consequence).
 
And when the fuckin' machines go tits up yer won't be able to buy anything! We'll just sit on our arses outside the shop waiting for the geeks to fix it. Remember that bollox with the banks - forget which ones - when folk couldn't access their cash? Visa don't have any fingers in the note printing pie so lets trash the pie and bake our own!

No, it's needed as it's so unfair, and is a blatant reflection of the society we live in.
There are many people out there who do genuinely hard work and thus need to be rewarded for their efforts.
The system currently rewards people financially, only this system is broken as many people are rewarded financially for not doing any hard work, with many committing crimes, sitting on their arsed all day, and are paid generously.

How is it fair when NHS nurses are using food banks yet sick note cunts like Samir Nasri float about in souped up lamborghinis?

I don't expect for a second to get any empathy from you as well you've worked in the corrupt industry that can avoid paying tax and be rewarded for it.
You haven't walked in my shoes, so go back to your privileged lifestyle and stay away from the jungle as you just might get hunted down.

You should have the old click clack machine for fall back. Banks send out fall back facilities to retailers.
 
Cash is a pain for retailers. Costs of depositing, pick ups, change, floats, Security, internal theft. Time taken to reconcile. Contactless now means that cash will be history within ten years.
