Contactless/NFC payment

Why the fuck in 2018 are banks still issuing contactless cards?

Does anyone actually use a contactless bank card?

What is the problem?

daily for almost 10 years

Depends heavily on the country.

Here in Germany I don't use it at all, it's simply not supported anywhere but the really big places in the larger cities. On the other hand when I was living in Japan for 2 years, was studying abroad, I used it pretty much daily for just about everything. Don't think I've ever even held a yen note higher than 1k (10$s) in my hand and even those I normally didn't carry.

literally every day for years. where the fuck do you live?

Yes?
Pretty much everyone?
They're the most hassle-free way of payment available

Do you mean why aren't they? In the US we're switching to fucking chip cards from swipe. I don't understand why we don't switch straight to contactless cards + phones.

Everyone either pays with their contactless card or their phone

You're still using imperial system. You're late on a lot of things.

Contactless cards need to be carried in a specialized wallet or pouch, or people can steal your money from you without actually picking your pocket.

Phone payment lets either Google, Samsung, or Apple know what the fuck you're buying.

The best system arguably is still chip and pin.

There still has not been even a single reported RFID crime worldwide.
People don't just carry around huge ass scanners and awkwardly rub them against you to try and fish for your credit card info, it simply does not happen.

Canadian here.

I use them all the fucking time. Also use Android Pay more often than not. So comfy.

Time to step into the 21st century user. Get with the times.

That's only true for poorly designed protocols, and it's relatively hard to pull off in practice. You can much more easily skim swipe cards, and that happens all the time in practice.

but that's wrong
even my shithole post-soviet country has it happen occasionally

It's not. Why bother exposing yourself to the danger of physically going somewhere and praying you can fish some numbers one by one when you can simply buy hundreds of thousands of CC numbers for pennies online?

Post a source for this please, I have yet to hear of a single occurrence of RFID crime.
Evidence of people skimming numbers off of shit like ATMs pop up almost weekly on the other hand.

ahmed from londonistan here, I use it daily, in fact jsut used it like half hour ago
