Getting my breakfast at a hema store, pay by card and my pincode (contactless paying by card is also a thing here) and walk towards the cutlery.

Random guy: HEY YOU! YOU SHOULD PAY CONTACTLESS. PAYING BY PIN IS VERY DANGEROUS. YOU HEAR ME? PAY CONTACTLESS FROM NOW ON!
Me: uhm I usually pay with cash tbh but I don't like paying contactless through card....
Guy: YOU REALLY SHOULD. THEY STOLE MY FUCKING MONEY WHEN I PAID WITH MY CARD + PINCODE.

😶

    I really hate contactless. There is a limit of ~20$, and over that you have to use pin code also, but if they steal your card they can just buy things for 19$ again adn again till you disable it.

    @sharktits nope, there is also a t of (I believe) €50 between multiple transactions before you have to enter a pin code. So someone can steal at most that.

    yeahhh and then after you total 50 bucks on contactless payments it will refuse your card and you have to use the chip anyway...
    the real danger is sketchy marketplaces and ATM machines in public places. that's where contactless payments would be nice to have. to anyone who manages to skim a pin device at effing HEMA, that's pretty badass.

    an method where anyone can get near your card is more secure than an method where physical access and knowledge is required?

    Contactless is great for spending far too much money on beer.

    @Brosyl banks are not dumb and dont forget the limits of direct withdrawal (German: Lastschrift), you can get the money even weeks later .

    @Bitwise that is the cause the us banks and other states pay the stolen money to the other banks.
