  1. do you really need to pay with your phone?
  2. do you need to use a banking app and not call the automated system to check?
  3. What ID apps would you used on a phone? Having digital ID’s is in it’s own a huge breach of privacy and i would never consent to such a system

Yes and not for me. Having my dad’s card on my phone without having the physical card is not that bad

It’s a tradeoff for sure but it’s worth it for a lot of people.
