LOL, ROTFL etc.

Why ?


But talking seriously, is credit card usage common in Sweden?

Maybe not *credit* cards, but debit cards (those that are charged
directly, online against your bank account). Actualy, one are
talking right now to completely close down the handling
of cash in many areas, particulay those that are night-open
with a high risk of robbery. Like 7-Eleven and public buses.

And in the ordinaly food-shop close to nobody today
uses cash, only debit cards.

I myself have a debit card for my personal stuff and
an credit card for my business stuff (that is charged
once a month against my bank account avilable on my
"contact" page above.

Anyway, for the *vendor*, it makes no difference if you
use a credit or a debit card, they never see which one
it is. It's only a matter of *how* the amount is charged
to *my* account (directly or once a month).

And of course, *every* vendor have small online terminals
where you draw your card yourself and enter your 4-figure
PIC code. Noone else ever touches the card...

Part of my business is to re-sell surplus stuff in Sweden,
and most payment are made as an direct online transfer
from others internet banking services That is 100% free
of any fees within Sweden (for both parts). And that's
my account is publicly visible so anyone can pay me easily.


It certainly isn't here in Switzerland, and apart from business class hotels and restaurants, the vendor often doesn't want to be paid that way.

Here you can by your evening newpaper at the local tobaco shop
and pay with your card...
