I don’t use a bank account, but I did experiment with various debit cards in the past months, including on trips to the U.S.

Coming from a Lightning background into Fintech, it’s shocking to see how bad user experiences can be in the “legacy” world of payments, how much interfaces differ, how many systems exist and how poorly they interface. Already today, despite all its shortcomings, I’d say the Lightning user experience is already better than that of debit cards, and will within two years surpass legacy networks in a way that’s obvious to everyone.

And according to your experience and experiments which debit cards are the best and which worse if there is any real difference?

In Canada Shakepay is quite good, but requires KYC. For USD cards, Moon was amazing, but now in a closed beta. Bitrefill cards are hit and miss, I’ve had two bad and three good ones. TBC generally didn’t work for me.

Thank you sir

Hell yeah! I could go on about that for hours really…

I am a cybersecurity professional and I do many assessment for banks.

You have no idea how bad their posture is.
