I'm so tired of seeing ads for these things.
Where do I put my cash? Where do the coins go? Where do I keep the photo of my cat? What if I have more than 5 cards?
Why is it so expensive?
THIS IS NOT A GOD DAMN WALLET!!! You might as well tie your 3 cards with a rubber band and call that a wallet!
FUCK YOU
I don't know if it's THE reason but at the ICA (grocery store chain) self checkouts the process is you input payment details first (blip card), then scan your stuff, then wait for payment to process, which wouldn't work with Swish since it enforces the payment process to be atomic (getting the price first and then inputting payment details)
actually what might be THE reason for ICA is that they are also technically a bank and you can have your own special ICA card tied to your bank account
How many apps are there for Swish? The indian equivalent (UPI) is a Unified Interface and the apps are then made by private companies. There's apps by Google, Amazon, some Indian private companies. They all add some weird features in it.
Swish only has one app, it's organized by all major Swedish banks together to run smoothly
and I have to issue a correction to my previous posts: ICA self-checkouts absolutely support Swish payments. I was at ICA just now and I guess I never looked hard enough but there's totally a button to bring up the Swish interface. it's even more ubiquitous than I believed
