Revolut Japan acceptance?

For 8 years (2-3 weeks per year) I have never seen someone around me paying contactless with bank card (not counting their IC cards) :slight_smile: most of the time it is by strip as their terminals are somewhat strange integrated in computer like machines :slight_smile: latest years the chip have stepped up more and more. High-tech is not related maybe, probably magsrtipe is more convenient/fast and since the crime is so low there the cases of copying the stripe of the cards is almost zero (my guessing). In the convenient stores the machine takes the card and spit it out with the receipts for like a 1-2 second, imagine the same situation with chip and PIN then you have 20 people per minute in the queue :slight_smile: . Of course in the big fancy ships and malls, it is usually chip&PIN
