Yes of course people could charge it once, but it has nothing to do with paying every beer/food with it... If you use your bank account card with paypass/contactless you pay for what you're buying (ex. a beer for 4euro)
That's why I said the cashless card could be a good idea, you charge it and use it everytime you buy something without any more fees for every transactions.

But in the end I really don't mind carrying cash so it doesn't matter if they add that feature or terminals for CC/bank cards :p
Ah, ok, I see what you mean right now. ;)

Thinking about it. the last time I was in germany my card wasn't accepted at the hotel even though it should have been working in the whole of europe.
So I called my bank and they changed something. after that I payed with my card everywhere without any problems.
Well, since I'm kind of "binational", I want my cards to be set for Eurozone for the minimum (or better EU) but preferably worldwide. That's because I have both an account in Belgium (where I live) and in the Netherlands (where I used to live)!
As I'm regularly in the latter country, I don't want to end up with no money! Especially when I have money left in Belgium!

And even though it'way better than before, some places still don't accept MAESTRO payments (= inner EU payments by bank card)!
The same goes for Belgium btw.
Having said this, this should also mean I should be able to pay with it/them in Germany! (and I never had problems in both France and Luxemburg)

Yeah but I've used my card at atm in germany. So it's not a country restriction thing right?

no probably not, because than indeed an ATM wouldn't work either.
That's kinda weird though.
What kind of system does your pass use?
My new one uses maestro, but the one before used v-pay which was utter shit.
I couldn't use that one in south africa because v-pay is only excepted in europe, even though my pass stated that it was a "world pass".
I was so angry!
