I'm not for or against cashless. However, our son lives in Brazil, and says it is great. The way he describes it is that it is not credit card driven but rather direct transfer from your bank account. Thereby bypasses the credit card charge .
Seems like several service stations now offer reduced prices if you pay direct from your account. He says all is done from a cell phone.
I do not yet trust technology so much that I want any direct access to my account by phone.
Also, seems like it opens the door for all kinds of spam messages.
Also, if all was done this way, it would seem to bypass those who don't have bank accounts or cell phones. Wow, am I dating myself.
