Anyway it doesn’t have to be like this. In China you scan a merchant code and enter the amount you want to pay on your phone, much like a bank transfer, but it happens instantly.
- smsm42 5y agoGood point on this - if some merchant cheats you, you have a decent chance with CC company to get the money back. With debit, your money is gone, good luck getting a refund.
