So they do. However, most Aussies still have a credit card

Who uses these for age verification?

It uses the same function and process as credit. Besides which, most Australians have a credit card of some form anyway.

It uses the same function and the point stands…most Australians use a credit card or BNPL which is essentially the same.

I believe it does, in fact I can find out for sure because my son is on Steam I believe, and runs Visa debit

I’ll go ask him

Edit: yes he does and yes he adds funds to his Steam account using his Visa debit card

Glad I could help here ay, most of the time I’m fairly useless

I will say, as is alluded by discussion further on, there is a big lean from many toward Visa debit because it uses existing funds. Most I know who are working and even a few not working maintain credit cards however.

Or BNPL; I actually prefer it because there’s no maintaining credit fees and I can maintain it well enough.

It really depends on which Australia you qualify in. I’m in the B team so credit offerings aren’t something I’m really a part of, aside from BNPL. Many Aussies who ‘own’ homes run most of their lives through credit cards and home loan equity.

I’m an Australian

I don’t know an adult Australian who doesn’t at least have a Visa debit card, which more or less functions as the same.

Many use EFTPOS (and quite frankly our government should move that to a credit payment facility so we can ditch the American ones) but what that Aussie told you is not correct; in fact most of the larger retailers are pushing for cashless transactions.

Thank you and thanks for the good read

Did they? Never knew that. I’ll take your word for it as well.

Testing for something or other.

They’ve done this before. It’s not new to NASA

Yeah it doesn’t surprise me, they’ve done this before and it’s no surprise they won’t say why.

Tbh I was surprised they didn’t take them after the military was finished with them, there’d be no better high speed platform to use.
