Unless they take Apple Pay I can't give them any money even if I wanted to.
Hehehe
Like ten years back, in a Finnish abandoned soap factory turned into hackerspace, I jokingly asked if I can pay by card for something silly. My jaw almost dropped as this private individual whips out a legit card reader and says yes. The devices are somewhat common now but that was my first interaction with it
Idk what hoops they'd require you to jump through, maybe you need to be incorporated depending on the country or so, but I'd not be too surprised if they start supporting this sooner or later
Think I've also heard about proposals or trials to transfer from phone to phone. What will be hard to not sound like a lie is that I don't have any sort of banking app on my phone... The future is bright ^^
Yeh here in australia anyone can go buy a card reader to accept payments. I know in America you can do iphone to iphone direct payments too.
I just dont think many homeless people will have them haha
