Good! It's still kinda ridiculous: attaching a card to a phone to pretend you are using your phone for payments instead of using the card directly… But at least it's not insecure — in a way it still is as you always carry your card with your phone, sometimes I take just my phone, but not my wallet and vice-versa 🤷

@grishka Yeah, a matter of habit I suppose. Most people have their phone in hand most of the time nowadays — it felt weird for me using the public transportation and seeing even the older people being like that: eyes on their phone most of the time, I only take mine out when I want to reply to a message, look something up or switch to a different album in the audio player 😄 |
m0xEE, I don't use one myself but I can totally see the convenience factor. Often when paying for something you already have your phone out, like you were browsing something on it while waiting or eating, or you just showed the cashier a loyalty card on it, so you just tap it on terminal instead of putting it away, taking out your wallet, taking out your card, and tapping that.
