Re:Stripe raises $600M at nearly $36B valuation by pawelk on Thursday April 16, 2020 @07:42PM (#22894727)
Yes, PayPass seems to be the go-to method in the physical world, even more so now (they have doubled the limit for non-PIN payments due to COVID-19 recently, so people don't use cash and don't touch the terminals as often), and Blik is winning on-line payments. The cards reportedly do work on-line, but I have never bothered to activate them. I have a Revolut card now for the odd CC payments with US-based companies, but I hardly ever use it for this purpose. I don't get the security model of CC, to me it's like: "here are all the details you will ever need to charge me an arbitrary amount until the card expires in X years". Any other method I have ever used was 2FA: I had to authorize the transfer of funds from my account to the recipient by some means.
