Well, you get such cards free if you have an account at a bank

We have a mixed system here, as contactless pay with cards and the local solution using QR Codes came at a similar time, but local banks did block apple pay and other phone solutions (you had to order a credit card from services like boon to use apple pay). Small events or business like shops on farms have just the QRcode, no terminal.
Later, banks allowed apple pay directly and the terminals got an update to show QRcodes. And the local solution allows bank to bank payments in seconds without fees.
These facts and the case that internet connection is pretty good anywhere here, has let, that most people have the local solution and at least a NFC debit card. And since debit cards now can be added to apple pay, many have this too.
Sadly I know no statistics how well the local solution can hold against the nfc payments
What I know is, that nearly zero people pay with cash anymore

My friend is sole IT guy for two production lines, managing security, multiple production buildings, redundancy, sensor lifetimes, emergency concepts etc, he has one colleague managing the human IT part
Like he manages all the machines and the other one all MS-Shit
It is always very interesting listening to his stories about managing multiple production lines where it costs so much if the machine is not running for some time
It is about producing chocolate, lol


Yea, bit that is required for paying via QR code as well
