    I had my wallet stolen years ago, within an hour someone had purchased thousands of $$$ worth of MacBook pros from the Apple store.

    Don’t lose your debit card!!! The bank doesn’t do charge backs!

      how?

      they would need a pin for that, for contactless payment there is a limit, I believe 200 euros in my country.

      so did you write your pin down on a paper and put it in your wallet or do you have your money stored at a terrible bank?

        I don’t know about elsewhere, but in the US you can run a debit card as a credit card without needing the pin. Pin is only required for cash back.
