Jfc. That is utter insanity

The fact that breaking a wall to get into the house is even a viable option honestly baffles me as a person living outside the US
Not sure what you mean exactly but yes debit cards usually have a PIN. You have to use it anytime you interact with an ATM or you insert the card into the POS. The only time PIN isnt needed is when the POS has The option for contactless payment. Then it is witout PIN until I think 50€. But at least my bank you can block the card from the banking app if you get the card stolen.
Ah okay so it is basically just a debit card. You see the terminal say for example 30€ and once you authorise that the 30€ are transferred from your account to theirs.
Unless there is some big difference between giro and debit cards.
It appears giro cards are just debit cards that basically only work on POS terminals and ATMs.
Are girocards like debit cards or something completely different?
I just checked and I assume you are Austrian. Worst case scenario hop over the southern border and open an account here. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
But almost sure you have something similar there as well. We are in Europe after all and banking is jot stuck in the 19th century like in the US.
I don’t really know any. I have a prepaid VISA with my bank. Had some fuckery happen to some of my accounts where I had my regular visa debit saved as payment method and I lost about 20€. I got them back but disabled the option for online payment for the card.
So now I only use that prepaid with the exact amount of money needed to pay for what I am buying.
I cannot really suggest any such cards that are separate services because I do not know any. Maybe look into if your bank has the option to get one.
Ah that kinda sucks
Does you bank have an option to send money for free? Mine does l. You just download their virtual wallet app and you can send instant transfers for free from that app to anyone that uses the same service. And most banks here offer it. They call it FLIK and it is really convenient.
What about virtual prepaid debit cards for online purchases?
Not really. They have a minuscule fee of around 40cents if I remember right
The only reason I have a google account in the first place is android. You cannot use the fucking play store without one.
Mort is the devil or whatever. Real shit
Yeah I cannot imagine it being easy to use when standing or walking.
You control it with your feet? That seems counter-intuitive ngl.
How does it get activated? Tied to the real thumb?
Most likely. But in a rare case of them living nearby they could have had alcohol at home and just walked to school.
Wasn’t that mostly for local offices likes amyors and such?
Because they are not publicly traded and line go up need jot always apply to them. They will not try and milk every last cent out of you.
