    Japan should look at what EU is proposing and build their own processor. Fuck VISA and Mastercard for their monopoly-like position, abandon them.

  2. This is why Brazil built Pix, their own payment platform created by their central banking authority. Japan should do the same

  3. I usually only use credit card for online shopping, local stores and restaurants I’ve been using cash only.

    The fees paid to credit card companies is pretty insane from the store perspective. You essentially need to raise prices, unfairly punishing those who pay in cash.
