For Mastercard:

> The magnetic stripe will start to disappear in 2024 from Mastercard payment cards in regions, such as Europe, where chip cards are already widely used. Banks in the U.S. will no longer be required to issue chip cards with a magnetic stripe, starting in 2027.

I think it has been over a decade since my last magstripe transaction (in a convenience store I frequented that switched to chip readers in 2010).

The only time I've used magnetic stripe in the last decade was in the US.

We are a relatively impoverished shithole country, you know. Pretty behind the latest tech in most places.

My hsa card still only has a mag stripe. Every time I use it, I swear the young receptionist doesn't know what to do with the card lol.
