Really?

For payments using direct bank transfers tends to be the standard approach in the EU, certainly for national payments.

Sure, but that's not what we're talking about here. For those kind of payments, in the US they still tend to use cheques. For buying stuff from shops or online, we use cards, just like anywhere else, no?

If you mean you use credit cards for buying stuff online, then no: that is not what we do here. I'm not sure about all of the EU, but at least in NL the majority of online transactions use payments directly with your normal checking account at your bank using a system called iDeal (see https://www.ideal.nl/en/ ).

Stripe supports iDeal btw.

Crazy. I stand corrected. In the UK we just use credit and debit cards for everything.

But then, we're not really representative of the rest of Europe I guess. Even less so nowadays :(

I was just going through some blog online when I met a testimony of this BLANK ATM CARD made by H.A.C TECH (rameeshj.86@gmail.com) I contacted that very address and I got one at an imaginable rate.(compared to what the card carries,the rate is minimal) At first I thought,it was gonna be some scam or something. But when I got the card I could get nothing less that $10,000 in a day. (ten thousand usd). Here is the testimony I saw; “Its the programmed ATM card that can hack into all ATM machines. Its works with any currency and in any country where you might be living. Its is programmed in a way that when transaction is carried out with the card ,it can’t be traced. To make use of this card ,you need no account number or even pin of anyone. Its simple because there is a manual attatched that teaches usage ,and also give more explanation concerning the card.” So friends,its a new year and a new beginning. If you need funds to start up some busines,pay up bills and loans or money to live a good life? Then you gat to make this opportunity yours. Though is illegal as you and I know ,but since government can’t satisfy my whole needs, I have to do what I have to do,to get what I want and for my family to be happy..Though this post is not for everybody,but for those who truly need change from a poor state to a wealthy life. A way to say happy new year to you and you out there. address once more is rameeshj.86@gmail.com ……. and you can open the link bellow in youtube to see how this is real working https://youtu.be/-z84lTD8nWs
