You're probably right about SWIFT/SEPA part. My bad, apologies.

And it's just not the credit cards. Many people here (including high school students) are provided and using debit cards for virtually everything.

The US has debit cards as well, the security assumptions regarding bank accounts are very different and there is also a culture of building a credit score that reduces debit card use.
