    Are you still using physical cards? I haven’t used a physical card in years since NFC has been commonplace.

      Most of the time I use Apple Pay in person. However sometimes they don’t accept it online so I have to use my card.

      When I said “pay without using your card” I meant online, because I’ve never used Twint in a physical shop.

        Are yon never buying stuff at a local butcher shop, flower truck or at a farmers store (Hofladen)? Most of them only take cash or Twint here.

            Well cash is king, you’re actually doing the small stores a favor because even though Twint has really low fees and a threshold before they apply they still take a small cut at some point.

            I just hate carrying coins. If we had CHF 1 notes I’d use cash more often.

              True but it’s a bit hypocritical on my part. I should be using cash every time I can, not every time I can’t use my card/apple pay.
